The owner of Hotter Shoes has taken itself off the market after no potential offers were received.

Unbound Group said it is now "assessing the feasibility" of raising between £1.5m and £2m to support [the] implementation of a formal restructuring plan, with a view to securing a better outcome for the group".

The Skelmersdale-headquartered company added that its revenues continue to be impacted by "liquidity constraints" and that it remains "reliant on the waiver of certain covenants under existing borrowing facilities and continues to maintain constructive dialogue with its core banking partners who have continued with their support throughout this period".

In May, the group put itself up for sale as it warned it could struggle to pay its upcoming bills.

The group appointed Interpath Advisory to act as joint financial adviser alongside Singer Capital Markets Advisory LLP to manage a strategic review and formal sale process.

The move came after the group missed out on a planned £10m investment earlier in the month after the offer was withdrawn because of concerns over its current trading.

It also suffered a blow when a knitwear and jersey brand backed away from a possible £7m takeover.
