Re the OP generally, my personal thoughts would coincide with jamesbrown.
Re clearance, I'd suggest it's unlikely there have been (m)any re TiS on liquidation. Perhaps your situation isn't the most common one raised on this contractor forum...more commonly it's someone contracting for X years, gets offered a permie role, takes it, then 1-12 months later gets offered another contract. In those situations, surely the sole reason you're closing is that you DON'T anticipate contracting again (or at least you'll want to argue that's the case)...so doing a clearance request would be daft.
Appreciate your case is a little different, but I still feel that with something like this if you're asking in advance, to my mind it suggests you know you're at risk. Some would argue that's the risk with clearance requests more generally, you're basically flagging your case to HMRC as one that you accept yourself is borderline.
