Forty companies were registered at Sevenoaks district addresses between 6 and 18 October, from the Companies House register. A registration is not an opening: the list, and the firms in liquidation or facing petitions.
Forty new companies were registered with Sevenoaks addresses between 6 and 18 October, Companies House records show. Five of them are food and drink businesses, including restaurant companies in Kemsing and Otford. (Companies House, advanced company search)
The Gazette, the official public record, carried one new liquidation of a Sevenoaks business in the same fortnight. Two more district companies face winding-up petitions.
This is our fortnightly New in business round-up. Our last edition covered 22 September to 5 October.
The new names
These are the ones with a recognisable local trade behind the name, with the business type each gave Companies House. We give the town or village, not the full address, where the registered office may be a home.
Food and drink
- Tamarind Spice Cottage Ltd, The Parade, Dynes Road, Kemsing: licensed restaurant
- Angelo’s Pizzeria Ltd, Otford: licensed restaurant
- The White Swan Promotions Ltd, registered at The White Swan, Ash Road, Ash: pubs and bars
- Ascoe Pastry Ltd, Seal: biscuits, rusks and preserved pastry
- Warm Spoon Ltd, West Kingsdown: prepared meals, food market stalls and takeaway food
Trades
- Roofing Right Ltd, High Street, Sevenoaks: roofing
- Kent Electrical Contractors Ltd, High Street, Sevenoaks: electrical installation
- JD Design & Construction Limited, West Kingsdown: construction installation work
- J&C Lift Services Ltd, Kemsing: equipment repair and specialist construction
Leisure, shops and the rest
- Padel2020 Limited, Twitton Lane, Otford: sports activities
- KM Life Limited, Sevenoaks: physical well-being services
- Fillocase Limited, High Street, Chipstead: textiles, clothing and online retail
- Canopy Cacao Limited, Sevenoaks: wholesale of coffee, tea and cocoa
- Live Sports Stories Limited, Sevenoaks: television production and broadcasting
- Vitail AI Limited, Ide Hill: software publishing
A company name and a registered office do not prove a business is trading yet, or where it will trade.
By the first business code each company gave, retail and wholesale was the biggest group with nine. Consultancy and tech, media and advertising had six each. Construction trades and food and drink had five each, and holding companies, property and other activities three each.
Ten of the 40 are registered at 108-112 Main Road, Sundridge. That address is a company formation and accountancy service, so it says nothing about where those firms trade. Two more are registered in Borough Green and Wrotham Heath. Those villages use the Sevenoaks post town but sit in Tonbridge and Malling.
The search catches any registered office containing “Sevenoaks”. It misses firms registered in Swanley, Edenbridge and Westerham that leave “Sevenoaks” out of the address.
Liquidations
- JJW Contractors Ltd, formerly Elite Consulting (London) Limited, gave its principal trading address as Lime Tree Workshop, Lime Tree Walk, Sevenoaks. Its members resolved on 8 October to wind it up, and Birchwood Bond of Rayleigh was appointed. (The Gazette, resolutions for winding-up, 15 October 2026) The Gazette lists it as a creditors’ liquidation, which means the company cannot pay its debts. (The Gazette, appointment of liquidators) HM Revenue and Customs had petitioned to wind the company up in July. (The Gazette, petition to wind up, 20 August 2026)
One older liquidation is reaching its end:
- Moulded Plastic Components Ltd, whose trading address was 4 Winterton Court, Market Square, Westerham, has been in liquidation since November 2023. The liquidators, FTS Recovery, plan a first and final dividend to unsecured creditors. Claims must be in by 10 November. (The Gazette, notice of intended dividends, 6 October 2026)
A creditors’ meeting was also called for 19 October for Versatile Equipment Limited, whose trading address is on the Hornet Business Estate, Quarry Hill Road, Borough Green. (The Gazette, meetings of creditors, 9 October 2026) Borough Green is in Tonbridge and Malling.
Winding-up petitions
Two district companies face new petitions in the High Court. A petition is a request to the court, not a decision. A company can pay, dispute the debt, or have the petition dismissed.
| Company | Petitioner | Presented | Hearing |
|---|---|---|---|
| S&O Builders Ltd, Westerham | HM Revenue and Customs | 4 September | 28 October |
| Balanced View Limited, Bethel Road, Sevenoaks | Kingsway Asset Finance Limited | 1 October | 18 November |
- S&O Builders Ltd is a building finishing firm formed in 2023. Companies House also shows an active proposal to strike it off the register. (The Gazette, petition to wind up, 16 October 2026; Companies House, company 14715316)
- Balanced View Limited is a service company formed in 2016, registered at Oak Court, Bethel Road. The petitioner says it is a creditor. (The Gazette, petition to wind up, 16 October 2026)
Earlier petitions: no order yet
Four petitions from our earlier round-ups have now passed their hearing dates. No winding-up order for any of them had appeared in the Gazette by 19 October:
- Sevenoaks Animal Feeds Limited, listed for 7 October. Companies House still shows it as active. (Companies House, company 01163945)
- Smart Squad Ltd, listed for 14 October, also still active. (Companies House, company 11333366)
- Sevenoak Investigations Limited, listed for 23 September
- Knockholt Properties Limited, listed for 9 September
What the terms mean
A creditors’ voluntary liquidation is the closure of a company that cannot pay its debts. A members’ voluntary liquidation is the orderly closure of a solvent one. A notice of intended dividend means the liquidator has money to pay out and is setting a last date for claims. We report company insolvencies from the register only. We do not report personal insolvencies or publish home addresses.
