Yu Energy Retail Limited presented a winding-up petition against SFM123 Ltd, a takeaway and fast-food outlet registered in Peterborough, at the High Court of Justice on 5 May 2026. The case number is CR-2026-003447 in the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist Chancery Division list that handles insolvency and company-law applications.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation. Filing the petition does not put the company into liquidation; the court must first make a winding-up order at a hearing before any such outcome takes effect. That hearing is listed for 10:30 am on 24 June 2026 at the Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London.

Yu Energy Retail Limited, which describes itself as a creditor of SFM123 Ltd, is registered at CPK House, 2 Horizon Place, Nottingham Business Park, Mellors Way, Nottingham. Its legal team's postal address is given as The Energy Centre, 2 Northgate Street, Leicester.
Any party wishing to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice of that intention by 16:00 on 23 June 2026, in accordance with rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Sfm123 Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Sfm123 Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by Sfm123 Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at Sfm123 Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of Sfm123 Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
