Administration
Administration can offer one of the best solutions to the preservation of a business. More recently, the use of this process has assisted our corporate recovery team in saving all or part of many businesses and as a consequence, many jobs.
Business Turnaround
No company or individual wishes to be the subject of formal insolvency proceedings. We will explore every option available to try to find a solution to help avoid them.
Confidential Advice
If you are concerned about the future of your business, have experienced a downturn or have had unexpected bad news, seek advice as soon as possible. We are used to helping business owners who feel like there is no way out of their problems, and will offer friendly support and confidential advice to find a solution that works.
Independent Reports
Bankers and other financial institutions do not want to force businesses out of business. However, they do not want to put loans at risk either – so we will work on finding creative solutions to best protect their interest. We recognise that clients need clear advice and we provide it.
Informal Arrangements
This firm has assisted many businesses in agreeing informal arrangements with creditors, in particular with HM Revenue & Customs which has provided much needed ‘breathing space’ in order to bring cash flow back into line.
Liquidations
In the event that a company is unable to continue, we can provide directors and shareholders with early advice and the procedures to follow. We are conscious of the stress caused to all involved in these situations and can explain fully the effects and consequences for directors and officers of such companies.
We can also act as Liquidator to solvent companies that require to be wound up for reasons of reorganisation or as part of a “tax-driven” scheme.
Receiverships
Our corporate team believe in working closely with an appointing bank/financial institution in order to develop and execute a strategy which yields the maximum recovery pursuant to the terms of their security.
We can also offer advice to a lender wishing to obtain security in respect of its lending.
Voluntary Arrangements
In contrast to both bankruptcy and liquidation proceedings, Voluntary Arrangements allow companies and individuals to compromise debts owed to creditors. Such Arrangements are not necessarily public knowledge.
We are able to act as Supervisor of such Arrangements which can be particularly useful to the company/individual whereby the business is generally capable of generating profits in the future but has suffered difficulties as a result of past events (eg. bad debts).
