A demand for payment is often issued as a last resort when a client has failed to collect monies owed to them. With no court involvement required, this route offers creditors the chance to collect their debts quickly. If such a demand remains unanswered and the debt unpaid, a creditor can file a winding up petition at court, which is a powerful tool for negotiation.
A winding up petition is the most serious form of action a creditor can take against a company and can force a struggling business to enter compulsory liquidation. However, not only does a winding up petition present a risk for the struggling business, but it can also have negative consequences for our clients if such a petition is issued to one of their customers.
