The company’s assets have been bought by Nextround, a company which shares a fellow director, Dennis Collet, for £19,000 plus a sum equal to 20% of the net proceeds of sale above £2m from a future relevant share disposal or asset disposal within a 36-month period. Joint administrators Simon Harris and Ben Woodthorpe of ReSolve Partners were appointed on 8 June with the sale completed four days later. Documents revealed the company, which was launched in August 2012, made losses of £932,471 on turnover of £112,464 for the year ending 31 October 2015.

Orderella was owed £31,017, of which £30,015 relates to a franchisee debt in New Zealand, which is a year overdue. Nextround has entered into a side agreement with Orderella to act as the company’s debt collection agent and if it recovers any funds will receive 50% of the realisations for its work in recovering the debts. Total unsecured creditor claims are estimated at £389,730, which includes an amount due to HMRC of £7,764. No distribution to unsecured creditors is expected.

Despite 12 parties signing non-disclosure agreements, receiving additional information and speaking with directors no offers were forthcoming.
