The most recent insolvency notice for F1 Sign Solutions Limited is an Appointment of liquidators (CVL), published 15 September 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Joe Whiley (IP No. 29410) of Insolvency Direct Ltd, Saxon House, Saxon Way, Cheltenham, GL52 6QX, appointed 8 September 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 March 2026, showed total assets of £50k and net assets of -£15k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 5 months before its first insolvency notice. Liquidation winds a company up: a licensed insolvency practitioner (the liquidator) is appointed to sell the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors in the order fixed by law, after which the company is dissolved. A creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) is started by the company's own directors and shareholders once it can no longer pay its debts as they fall due.

The liquidator realises the assets, writes to known creditors inviting claims, reports on the directors' conduct, and distributes what is recovered in the order fixed by law — costs of the liquidation, preferential creditors, secured creditors, then unsecured creditors. Claims go to the liquidator named in the notice, not to the company. The company is dissolved once the liquidation is complete.
