RA Motors Limited, a used car dealership based in Bolton, Greater Manchester, is on the verge of entering administration after being served a winding-up petition. The legal notice, published in The Gazette, signals a potential end for the company.
Winding-Up Petition Details
The petition was presented to the firm on March 4 by Motorway Online Limited. A winding-up petition is a formal court document filed by creditors to force a company into compulsory liquidation when it cannot pay debts of £750 or more. This severe legal action often leads to frozen bank accounts, public advertisement in The Gazette, and possible business closure.
Court Hearing Scheduled
The case is set to be heard at the Business and Property Courts in Manchester on May 12. The outcome will determine the fate of the dealership.
Company Background
On Google, RA Motors describes itself as a family-run business with over 20 years of experience in the used car industry. It claims an enviable reputation for supplying high-quality used vehicles nationally, with all vehicles rigorously checked and prepared to the highest standards. The showroom is described as prestigious, offering advice and guidance on purchasing used vehicles.
The winding-up petition marks a significant blow for the dealership, which has been a part of the local automotive landscape for two decades.
