Members of Cafe Ines Ltd resolved on 26 June 2026 to wind up the company voluntarily, appointing Yiannis Koumettou and Constantinos Pedhiou of BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP as joint liquidators on the same date.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. It is the most common route into corporate insolvency in the UK. The resolution was passed at a general meeting held virtually.
Cafe Ines Ltd was incorporated on 22 October 2024 and traded from 10A Earls Court Road, London, W8 6EA. Its registered SIC code, 56102, covers unlicensed restaurants and cafes. The registered office is listed as Suite 501, Unit 2, 94A Wycliffe Road, Northampton, NN1 5JF, the same address as the appointed liquidators.
The liquidators
Koumettou holds IP number 15676 and Pedhiou holds IP number 14852. Both are licensed insolvency practitioners at BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP, operating from the Northampton office. An IP number is the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body, identifying the individual practitioner.
The notice confirms that any act required or authorised under any enactment to be done by the joint liquidators may be done by all or any one or more of the persons holding the office of liquidator from time to time. Creditors or other parties seeking further information can contact Humerah Patel on 0208 370 7250 or at Humerah.Patel@btguk.com.
The director
Farid Mokrani, who chaired the meeting and signed the notice, is the sole director of Cafe Ines Ltd. Mokrani was appointed on 22 October 2024, the date of incorporation, and remains in office. No other officers are listed at Companies House.
Charges and background
No secured charges are registered against Cafe Ines Ltd at Companies House, meaning there are no secured creditors with a prior claim over the company's assets ahead of unsecured creditors in the liquidation.
The company's first accounts were not due until 22 July 2026, so no filed financial statements are available. The London Gazette published the resolution notice on 26 June 2026.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Cafe Ines Limited?
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation you are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The liquidators will write to known creditors with a proof-of-debt form. A statement of affairs prepared by the directors and the chair of the creditors' decision procedure should be available on request. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at Cafe Ines Limited?
In a CVL, employees are typically dismissed at or shortly after the liquidator's appointment. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The liquidators will normally provide RP1 case-reference numbers to the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Cafe Ines Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
Are you a director of a company connected to Cafe Ines Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the company enters liquidation. If you intend to be involved in another company using the same or a similar name within five years, you must rely on one of the three statutory exceptions and file the relevant notice. Acting in breach is a criminal offence and exposes you to personal liability for the successor's debts.
