The most recent insolvency notice for The Crown Inn (biggar) Limited is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 30 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by BIZCAP LIMITED. The case is before the Sheriff Court of Lanark (case No L11 of 2026). 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
