@user1977 the  name is similar to another , which is a ltd company but this one is not.

So what makes you think it's a sole trader? Do you have an individual's name and address?

Seen similar tricks in the past. Devious use of similar trading names. Which set out to confuse and ultimately defraud.

the insurance not covered for that,

If you have travel insurance, it may cover "failure of the provider" (even if a different phraseology is used).

Have you saved screen grabs of the messages and such like showing what you can, and the notice about the liquidation?  It is worth doing as social media content may not stay for ever.

So that sounds like a private address.

It seems as though this is not the same company as this website:
https://letsbookit.com/
Operates from Bournemouth and has the (parent) company details shown at the base of the page.

I fear that a sole trader using the trading name "Let Us Book It" when there is a very similar named company operating, seemingly legitimately, might suggest that the sole trader is either a chancer or a scammer.  If the OP has the personal details of the sole trader, it may be possible to follow small claims (as the "business" and the individual are one and the same) but whether there is any money to recover is another matter.

Looks like there is a web of companies tenuously linked to that address - and not in the dodgy Chinese companies way.
