The most recent insolvency notice for Oxford Secured Company Ltd is an Appointment of liquidators (CVL), published 16 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Michaela Daly (IP number 17570); Gareth Prince (IP number 16090), appointed 15 October 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 January 2025, showed total assets of £1 and net assets of £1. Those accounts were filed 20 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began.

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.
