Comprehensive Insolvency Services

From first call to close, we provide disciplined delivery and clear communication so you can make decisions with confidence.

Company Voluntary Liquidation (CVL)

Orderly closure when the company cannot continue. Stops most creditor action, fulfils directors’ duties, and sets a clear end-point.

Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA)

Trade on while repaying what’s affordable. A structured proposal that binds unsecured creditors, supported by realistic cash-flow evidence.

Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL)

Solvent closure focused on efficient distributions and clean separation for shareholders.

Administration

Breathing space to protect value while assessing rescue, restructure, or sale options - including pre-pack where appropriate.

HMRC Time-to-Pay & Engagement

Constructive proposals grounded in numbers. We prepare evidence, forecasts, and communications that move decisions forward.

Asset Recovery & Disposals

Transparent disposals aimed at maximising realisations with clear reporting to stakeholders.

Restaurant & Hospitality

Rapid triage of rent arrears, payroll/VAT pressure, supplier terms, and seasonality. Stabilise week one; decide on trade-on or close.

Corporate Restructuring

When the core business is viable but pressure is acute: creditor negotiation, cost reset, and route selection with minimal disruption.

Forensic & Director Advisory

Focused reviews (e.g., director loan accounts, antecedent transactions) and clear guidance on exposure and next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still pay wages or key suppliers before a CVL?
Essential payments that protect value (e.g., wages, essential services) may be appropriate before appointment; we’ll advise case-by-case so you meet your duties.
What happens to my personal guarantees?
PGs sit outside the company process. We'll map exposures early and coordinate with lenders to manage outcomes alongside the chosen route.
Will I be accused of wrongful trading?
We help you evidence decisions and timing. Acting promptly, taking advice, and ceasing loss-making trade are key mitigants.
How are fees set and who approves them?
Fees are explained upfront and approved by creditors or the court as applicable. You'll see the basis and regular updates.
Can I be a director again?
Yes - unless disqualified for misconduct (rare). We'll brief you on good practice and record-keeping.
