How much did the company owe?
The notices do not give a figure. The closest public number is total liabilities of £2.9m in its last filed accounts, to 30 November 2025. What was owed when the process began will differ, and is set out in the statement of affairs.

The notices do not say. The last filed accounts recorded an average of 6 employees in the period to 30 November 2025, which is the closest public figure and may be out of date.
Financial figures are taken from the company's own last accounts filed at Companies House. Small and micro-entity accounts are unaudited, and for a company entering an insolvency process the most recent filing frequently predates that process by a year or more.
