GM Secured Lending Opportunities 1001 Limited faces a winding-up petition
Active Company no. 13118850 Incorporated Jan 2021 Financial Services LA postcode area
75 Market Street, Lancaster, LA1 1JG
The most recent insolvency notice for GM Secured Lending Opportunities 1001 Limited is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 19 August 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by Hartley Pensions Limited – in Administration. The case is before the The Rolls Building (case CR-2026-005666). The petition was listed to be heard on Wednesday 9 September 2026 at 10:30 — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 April 2024, showed total assets of £7.3m and net assets of -£563k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 28 months before its first insolvency notice. 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.

What happens next
