We review your debt claim to ensure it meets the statutory requirements. The debt must be undisputed, exceed £750, and be immediately payable.
Our experts prepare the statutory demand using Form 6.1, ensuring all legal requirements are met and supporting documentation is properly attached.
The statutory demand is served on the debtor company in accordance with requirements, with full documentation of the service process.
The debtor has 21 days to respond by either paying the debt, securing it, or applying to set aside the statutory demand.

Consider formal rescue procedures before the 21-day deadline:
Pay creditors over time while trading continues
Automatic moratorium on creditor action
Contact the creditor directly to discuss:
If rescue isn't viable, a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) puts you in control rather than waiting for compulsory liquidation after the petition.
Valid grounds include:
Collect documentation supporting your dispute:
File an application at the appropriate court (usually the same court that would hear the petition):
The application to set aside should ideally be made before the 21-day deadline expires. If made after, you'll also need to explain the delay to the court.
