Frequently Asked Questions

What is a statutory demand, and when should I use one?

A statutory demand is a formal notice to a company to pay a debt over $4,000 within 21 days. If ignored, it can lead to winding-up proceedings. It’s a powerful tool — but must be used carefully. We’ll advise if it’s the right move.

What happens if a company ignores a creditors statutory demand?

Failure to comply may allow you to apply to wind up the company. We can help enforce compliance or initiate the next legal step.

Can a statutory of demand be set aside?

Yes. If there’s a genuine dispute or defect in the demand, the debtor can apply to set it aside. We assist both creditors and respondents in navigating these matters.

Do you assist with general debt recovery too?

Absolutely. We handle all forms of commercial debt recovery, from solicitor’s letters to court action — always with your business goals in mind.
