Services
Administrations
Our administration services focus on preserving viable businesses through managed trading or pre-packaged sales. We act as court-appointed administrators to maximise creditor returns while maintaining employment. Our team specialises in justifying pre-pack arrangements when appropriate, ensuring compliance with current regulations while protecting business continuity.
Company Voluntary Arrangements
We implement binding agreements between companies and creditors to restructure debts while maintaining operations. Our expertise ensures profitable business cores continue trading while addressing financial difficulties. We negotiate payment plans based on ongoing profits, providing better returns than liquidation scenarios through carefully structured arrangements.
Liquidations
We handle both solvent and insolvent liquidations with specialist attention to tax efficiency and creditor returns. Our team manages directors' appointments, HMRC compliance, and asset realisation. We provide clear guidance on voluntary liquidation benefits and manage compulsory liquidation processes when required by creditors or courts.
Individual Voluntary Arrangements
Our IVAs offer individuals structured debt solutions similar to corporate CVAs. We negotiate binding agreements with creditors to prevent bankruptcy while maintaining financial control. Our approach prioritises sustainable repayment plans that balance personal circumstances with creditor requirements through formal insolvency frameworks.
Bankruptcy Procedures
We manage bankruptcy cases as official trustees, guiding individuals through the 12-month process. Our services include debt restructuring advice, credit restriction guidance, and director disqualification prevention. We ensure compliance with Official Receiver requirements while protecting client interests during and after bankruptcy proceedings.
Questions
What insolvency options exist for struggling businesses?
We offer administrations, company voluntary arrangements, and liquidations tailored to business circumstances. Our experts assess each case to recommend the most appropriate solution.
Can personal financial difficulties be resolved without bankruptcy?
Yes, we specialise in Individual Voluntary Arrangements that provide structured debt solutions while avoiding formal bankruptcy proceedings and associated restrictions.
How do pre-pack administrations work?
This process involves selling company assets to a new entity while maintaining business continuity. We ensure proper justification and compliance with current regulations during these transactions.
What happens during liquidation?
We manage asset realisation, creditor distributions, and regulatory compliance. Directors can appoint us voluntarily, subject to creditor approval, to handle insolvent company closures professionally.
How does bankruptcy affect individuals?
Bankruptcy typically lasts 12 months and restricts directorships and credit access above £500. We guide clients through this process as official trustees when appropriate.
Do you offer initial consultations?
