Â
-
Complete the Statutory Demand for service. You can download copies of the correct statutory demand from the .gov website. Make sure you use the correct form!

If you are owed money, you can issue a statutory demand. As you have read, serving a Statutory Demand is normally very easy to organise. There is no need for court action and you don't need a lawyer to assist you. However, you should seek legal advice if you are unsure whether the statutory demand is the correct route for you. Other options may be available.
Â
If the debt is over 6 years old, you cannot usually issue a Statutory Demand. We suggest you seek legal advice instead.

How to Serve a Statutory Demand on a Company
If you need to serve a Statutory Demand on a company, our experienced Process Servers can assist with prompt, professional and compliant service throughout England and Wales.
​
To begin the process, you will need to complete an SD1 Statutory Demand and provide it to us for service. Generally, the debt should be undisputed and exceed £750 before a Statutory Demand is considered. If you are unsure whether a Statutory Demand is appropriate in your circumstances, you should seek independent legal advice.
​
A Statutory Demand is typically served at the company's Registered Office address, although service may also take place at a trading address where appropriate. The demand can be served by personally handing it to a director, officer or employee of the company. If no suitable person is available, the demand may be left at the Registered Office in a manner that is likely to bring it to the attention of those responsible for the company.
​
Where the debtor is a partnership, service can usually be effected at the partnership's principal place of business or by personally serving a partner. For sole traders, every reasonable effort should be made to bring the demand to their attention, including attendance at known residential and business addresses. Personal service is generally preferred wherever possible.
Once the Statutory Demand has been served, we will prepare and provide a Certificate of Service confirming the date, time and method of service. This document can be retained as evidence that service has been properly effected.
​
We offer fixed-fee Statutory Demand service, priority attendance options and nationwide coverage. Contact us today for a quotation or to discuss your requirements.
How to Serve a Statutory Demand on a Private Individual
If you need to serve a Statutory Demand on an individual, our experienced Process Servers can assist with prompt, professional and compliant service throughout England and Wales.
​
Before service can take place, you will need to complete the appropriate Statutory Demand form, typically an SD2, SD3 or SD4, depending on the circumstances of the debt. For example, the demand may relate to a debt that is immediately payable or one that is based upon a court judgment. Generally, the debt should be undisputed and exceed £5,000 before a Statutory Demand is considered.
​
When serving a Statutory Demand on a private individual, every reasonable effort should be made to bring the demand to the debtor's attention. Wherever possible, service should be effected personally by handing the demand directly to the individual or leaving it with them. Our Process Servers will attend known residential or business addresses and take reasonable steps to locate the debtor and complete service.
​
In some cases, personal service may not be possible because the debtor is evasive or cannot be located. Depending on the circumstances, it may be possible to serve the Statutory Demand by an alternative method, known as substituted service. This could include leaving the demand at an address or serving it by another method permitted by the court. Strict procedures apply, and legal advice should be obtained before relying upon substituted service.
​
Once service has been completed, we will provide a Certificate of Service confirming the date, time and method of service.
​
We offer fixed-fee Statutory Demand service, priority attendance options and nationwide coverage.

Send us the documents by email or post, ensuring you include everything that requires service. Please provide any specific instructions and helpful information that may assist our Process Server in effecting prompt and successful service.
We will assign your instruction to an experienced Process Server, who will attend the address and seek to effect prompt and compliant service of the documents. Should any issues arise, we will keep you informed and discuss the available options.

Proof of Service
File Proof of Service at Court
Once the documents have been successfully served, we will provide you with court-compliant proof of service. Depending on your requirements and the type of document served, this may be in the form of a Certificate of Service, Statement of Service or Affidavit of Service.
Once you have received the Proof of Service, you should retain it for your records and file it with the Court where necessary. As independent Process Servers, we provide the documentation to you, but do not submit it to the Court on your behalf.
