Sarah Ferguson Moves to Wind Down Five Business Ventures
The former Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has initiated proceedings to dissolve five of her registered companies in the wake of renewed public attention stemming from the latest release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Applications have been filed with Companies House to strike these firms off the official register, a move that will likely lead to their formal dissolution unless objections are raised.
Details of the Companies Facing Dissolution
The five businesses in question are La Luna Investments Limited, Planet Partners Production Limited, S. Phoenix Events Limited, Fergie's Farm Limited, and Solamoon Limited. These entities were primarily established to support Ferguson's career as a brand ambassador, public speaker, and lifestyle entrepreneur. Public records indicate minimal asset values for most of these companies.
Fergie's Farm Limited, incorporated in 2014, lists Sarah Ferguson as the sole officer and shows a total asset value of just £1. Originally conceived as part of a broader lifestyle brand initiative reportedly dubbed 'Duchess Inc', the venture aimed to emulate King Charles's Duchy Originals by producing high-end organic goods for supermarkets. It was intended to operate alongside two other brand labels: Ginger & Moss for premium textiles and homeware, and The Duchess Collection for accessible premium items like tea, chinaware, and fragrances.
Planet Partners Production Limited, originally named Sarah Ferguson Limited until 2011, was incorporated in 2009 to manage her television appearances, book deals, and speaking engagements. Despite reporting a £200 loss on its balance sheet, the company held various trademarks and rights associated with her name and was instrumental in pitching lifestyle products and children's entertainment concepts to international retailers.
Solamoon Limited, formed in 2015 with assets of £100, lists Ferguson as the only person with significant control and was connected to her consultancy and brand ambassador roles. S. Phoenix Events Limited, a dormant company since 2014 with £1 in assets, served as a platform for her public appearances and brand events. La Luna Investments Limited, a private limited company with a value of £99, is noted for holding a one percent share in another insolvent company called vVoosh, owned by her friend Manuel Fernandez.
Context and Recent Developments
This move to dissolve the companies comes amid reports that Sarah Ferguson is considering a potential comeback after weathering the storm of the Epstein scandal, which has linked her to the convicted paedophile. According to sources, Ferguson has expressed to friends, “I need to get back to work. I need money.” At 66 years old, she reportedly faces financial challenges, with no permanent home and limited discernible income.
A source commented on her situation, stating, “The public is disgusted by what they have read. And how would she pay a new PR team to rescue her reputation? She is said to be looking to bounce back, in typical Fergie style. I'm just not sure the public will buy it.” It is important to note that being mentioned in the Epstein files does not necessarily indicate any wrongdoing, and Sarah Ferguson has not publicly commented on the latest document release by the Department of Justice. The publication reached out to her for comment, but no response has been provided at this time.
