It has now been revealed accounts filed with Companies House show Mrs Ingram-Moore's company has failed now too.
Club Nook, co-run by husband Colin, was created to manage the Captain Tom's commercial interests and intellectual property.
But the latest documents show it only has current assets of £149, a stark contrast to last year's £336,300.
Liabilities have also dropped from £106,104 to £19,246 net within a year.

Father Captain Tom inspired the nation by raising £39m with a sponsored walk during the first Covid lockdown.
But investigations were launched over payments made to the couple from the charity they ran with donations.
They were slammed in a report by the Charity Commission, which found "repeated instances of misconduct and/ or mismanagement".
An "unauthorised" luxury spa complex, built on their £2million property, was torn down in January last year after the Planning Inspectorate ruled it was built illegally.

This comes as Mrs Ingram-Moore has also taken her controversial country home off the market after failing to find a buyer in 10 months.
The seven-bed property in Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, has been on the market since April 2024 with a whopping £2.25million price tag.
Captain Tom's spa building demolished, bench remains
But even after shamelessly using Captain Tom's name in publicity material, Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband Colin have failed to flog it.
The property is listed as "no longer available" on estate agent Fine and Country's website - and the firm confirmed to The Sun it is "no longer appointed as the agents".
Hannah and Colin put the Grade II-listed home, which sits within 3.5 acres, on the market just a few months after they lost their appeal to keep the spa complex in their garden.
The property was taken off major websites such as Zoopla and Rightmove back in October - after the family opted for a more "private discreet listing".

Fine and Country told at the time that the family did not want the property to be advertised any longer.
It saw them remove it from property portals, although said it was still for sale and interested buyers should approach them directly.
Now, it has been taken off the market completely.
The original property listing showed the family were still shamelessly cashing in on beloved Tom by using his memory to push the sale.
A statue of Tom could be seen on full view in the main hallway in the agent photos.
The "owner’s statement" read: “A particularly special memory of our time here is of my father walking 100 laps of the garden to raise a record-breaking sum of almost £40million for NHS charities during the pandemic.”
The brochure particulars add: “The property is owned by the family of Captain Sir Tom Moore who spent his final years there raising money for the NHS during the Covid pandemic.”
The sale comes after of the family name.
Captain Tom's daughter previously came under fire when she spoke about the ordeal in a bombshell interview with TalkTV's Piers Morgan and revealed they kept £800,000 from the three books her dad had written - claiming he had wanted them to keep the profits.
Their consultancy firm Maytrix Group also took up to £100,000 in furlough money and £47,500 in Covid loans despite bumper profits during the pandemic.
