Elevate Business Support Ltd faces a winding-up petition
Liquidation Company no. 16241164 Incorporated Feb 2025 BL postcode area
Office 2 Lythgoe House, Manchester Road, Bolton, BL3 2NZ
The most recent insolvency notice for Elevate Business Support Ltd is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 27 August 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by HM Revenue & Customs. The case is before the High Court of Justice (case CR-2026-005728 of 2026). The petition was listed to be heard on 09 September 2026 at 1030 hours — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. 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.
HMRC is the petitioning creditor, so the debt behind the petition is unpaid tax — most often VAT, PAYE or corporation tax — rather than a trade debt. HMRC petitions usually follow a long run of missed payments and ignored demands.

What happens next
At the hearing the court decides whether to make a winding-up order.

If an order is made, the company stops trading, its bank accounts are frozen, control passes to the Official Receiver and a liquidator is appointed to sell the assets and pay creditors in the order fixed by law.
