We can help if your business is facing insolvency

We are an experienced and friendly team of Licensed Insolvency Practitioners and turnaround & recovery specialists with big firm backgrounds. We offer limited companies who are experiencing financial difficulties and debt problems logical and expert guidance to help them move forwards. The initial consultation is free. 

Since we started in 1997, our mission has always remained the same:

“We operate with professionalism, integrity, fairness, clarity and courtesy. We are always mindful of the difficulties and losses that businesses and the directors and staff might be experiencing and aim to achieve the best outcome for all stakeholders.”

What we do

Business Recovery and Turnaround

If there is a core business that is profitable or has the potential to be profitable, then we will work with you to help you make the right decisions to turn your company around so that it is able to pay off any business debts and thus remain solvent. As a result, this may, or may not, involve a formal insolvency procedure, such as Company Administration or a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), always ensuring that creditors’ rights are upheld in line with the requirements of the relevant legislation and the Insolvency Service.

Closing Down and Winding Up

If, however, the business is failing and there is no way to rescue it and turn it around, then the only solution is to implement as orderly a cessation of trade to stop the hole getting any deeper, with liquidation being the outcome.

If you need to go into Administration/liquidation speak to Antony Batty first. His firm and all the members of his team did (in the stressful situation ) a marvellous job. he thinks outside the box and will overcome/resolve any problems that stand in his way with panache and a smile

If your business is in financial distress or facing insolvency, the sooner you take action the better

Businesses face insolvency (and ultimately failure) for many reasons, their financial problems often being caused by others. The result of these issues are often first recognised when a business has cannot pay its debts / creditors, or when its liabilities exceed the total assets of the company.

Do you have cash flow problems, have unpaid bills, or have  HMRC arrears, or does your company have difficulty raising finance? These and other external factors can often be difficult to anticipate and control. Take a look at our insolvency and restructuring guide to help recognise the signs of approaching insolvency.

We specialise in delivering all types of insolvency solutions and advice, from business recovery & restructuring advice, to closing companies down when there is no alternative. We work to find the right solution to your business’s insolvency problems.

Whatever the reason for an insolvent situation, it is highly stressful, often leading to worry, sleepless nights, and therefore the sooner you take action the better. 

We are here for when it isn’t business as usual.
