About this document

If you issue a statutory demand, you can follow it up 21 days later with a winding up petition. There is nothing, but nothing that concentrates someone’s mind more than prospective wipe out. Of course, if you have done your homework, you never need to issue the petition.

The procedure is very easy to follow. All you need are a couple of forms and a stamp; no solicitors, no court fees.

Great Service

I was afraid at first it might be a scam site, but as it was only a small amount to purchase I decided to give it a go. I like the Statutory demand for Payment document because I could have confidence that it was written correctly based on NZ legal processes as it has been prepared by a lawyer. I am still completing the document but I am confident it has all of the features required. I would recommend this site to others because it has legally sound documents and the cost was minimal.

Simple easy download. The document is easy to manipulate and certainly worth the money to have the confidence you are covering all legal and statutory bases. Would definitely recommend and use again as needed. Thanks!
