The most recent insolvency notice for Companies Management Systems Ltd is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 19 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by Yardlink Ltd on 04 September 2026. The case is before the Liverpool Civil And Family Court (case CR-2026-LIV-000283). The petition is listed to be heard on 10 November 2026 10:30 AM. A winding-up petition asks the court to close a company and place it into compulsory liquidation, most often because a debt has gone unpaid. If the court makes a winding-up order, control passes to the Official Receiver or an appointed liquidator, the company's bank accounts are frozen and its assets are sold to repay creditors.

The petitioning creditor is another company, so the debt behind the petition is a commercial one — typically an unpaid invoice, rent, or a judgment that went unsatisfied — rather than a tax liability.

Owed money by Companies Management Systems Ltd?

Falling margins, stretched creditors, overdue filings and HMRC arrears usually appear months before a Gazette notice. Directors who act at that stage keep far more options open, from an informal turnaround to a CVA or restructuring plan.
