Builder.ai: the UK liquidation record behind an AI startup collapse
Compulsory liquidation · Record dated 2025-09-10 · Sources checked 11 October 2026
What the public record shows
Companies House records compulsory liquidation of Engineer.ai Global Limited, company number 10998363, with winding up commencing September 10, 2025. The Gazette publishes the corresponding High Court winding-up order. Builder.ai’s published privacy terms identify this company as the operator of its platform.
Where the promise broke
The record establishes the failure of this legal entity. For customers commissioning software, supplier continuity can determine whether an unfinished project remains accessible or maintainable.
What this record does not establish
Liquidation is not proof of fraud. These records do not prove popular claims that all of Builder.ai’s AI was fake, nor do they establish an identical status for every group entity.
The buyer lesson
Keep source code, deployment credentials and project exports under your own control. An AI development supplier should have a documented handover and insolvency contingency.
