I will draft a legally binding UK statutory demand for payment
SRA Regulated UK Debt Recovery Legal Drafting Expert
About this Gig
A Statutory Demand is one of the most powerful debt recovery tools in the UK. If a debtor owes you over £750 (Company) or £5,000 (Individual) and the debt is undisputed, this document gives them exactly 21 days to pay. If they fail, you can apply to make them bankrupt or wind up their company.
Because of the severe consequences, UK courts require Statutory Demands to be drafted with absolute perfection. Even a minor error can result in the demand being set aside, costing you time and legal fees.
As an SRA-regulated professional (SRA ID 659327), I provide error-free, legally precise Statutory Demands (Form SD1, SD2, or SD3) ready for you to serve.

FAQ
What is the minimum debt required for a Statutory Demand?
In the UK, the debt must be at least £750 for a company, or £5,000 for an individual.
Can I use this if the debtor is disputing the invoice?
No. Statutory Demands should only be used for liquidated, undisputed debts. If it is disputed, you must use the MCOL (County Court) route.
How do I serve the Statutory Demand?
It must be served personally to an individual, or delivered to the registered office of a company. My Premium package includes a full guide on this.
Do you guarantee they will pay?
While highly effective due to the threat of bankruptcy/liquidation, no legal document guarantees payment. However, it forces a definitive legal response.
Is this a court document?
No, you do not need court permission to issue a Statutory Demand, but it is the prerequisite step before applying to court for bankruptcy/winding up.
