Our Business Advisory & Recovery Services
Practical, confidential solutions to help directors regain control.
At our company, we provide a full range of business recovery, insolvency, and advisory services to support company directors facing financial challenges. From Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) and Administrations to Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVA) and Bankruptcy advice, our goal is to help businesses and individuals take control, protect assets, and find the best possible outcome.
With decades of experience, our licensed insolvency practitioners work closely with directors, stakeholders, and professional advisers across the UK to deliver clear, confidential, and practical solutions.
Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL)
- A clean break that allows directors to move on without ongoing pressure from creditors.
- Minimises personal risk by stopping trading at the right time.
- Creditors can submit claims in an organised and transparent way.
- Directors are usually free to continue acting as directors in other companies -unless disqualified later (subject to conditions).
- Employees made redundant are always eligible for compensation via the Redundancy Payments Office (subject to conditions).
- In some cases, directors can buy back company assets and even start afresh in the same industry.
Company voluntary arrangement (CVA )
- Retirement – winding down a family business and transferring wealth to a personal estate.
- Lifestyle changes – moving abroad or stepping back from running a company.
- Tax efficiency – extracting funds in a more favourable tax environment.
- Tidying up affairs – simplifying a company structure or closing dormant entities.
- Corporate restructuring – streamlining operations following a merger or group reorganisation.
- Group liquidations – managing multiple MVLs as part of a wider business strategy.
Administration
- Immediate protection from creditors – A statutory moratorium halts legal action, winding-up petitions, and enforcement.
- Preserves business value – Stabilises finances to prevent further decline in company assets.
- Reduces risk for directors – Minimises the chance of personal liability for wrongful trading.
- Fair outcome for creditors – Unlike Administrative Receivership, Administration seeks the best possible result for all creditors.
- Restructuring opportunities – Loss-making divisions can be closed while viable operations are maintained or sold.
- Job preservation – In many cases, businesses continue trading and staff are retained; redundancy costs may be covered under government schemes (subject to TUPE).
- Flexible management – Administrators may appoint new directors if needed to strengthen leadership.
Compulsory Liquidation
- Compulsory Liquidation may seem unavoidable, but it is rarely the best outcome for directors or the business.
- Taking early professional advice can open the door to better solutions such as a Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) or Administration, both of which provide more control and protect reputations.
- If your business is facing creditor pressure or has received a winding-up petition, it’s vital to act quickly.
- The sooner advice is sought, the more options are available to avoid compulsory closure.
Bankruptcy Support
- Immediate protection from creditors – once bankruptcy is declared, legal action, enforcement, and collection efforts (including bailiffs or court claims) must stop.
- Debt discharge – many unsecured debts can be written off, freeing you from ongoing repayment obligations.
- Asset exemptions – in certain circumstances, essential possessions and some assets may be protected.
- A chance to rebuild – although bankruptcy typically remains on your credit file for 6 years, many individuals begin restoring their financial stability much sooner after discharge.
Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA)
- Avoids bankruptcy – an IVA can help protect your home and other essential assets.
- Affordable repayment plan – one monthly payment is set at a level tailored to your financial situation.
- Creditor protection – once approved, creditors must stop legal action and collection efforts.
- Frozen interest and charges – interest is halted from the date of approval, stopping debts from growing further.
- Clear route to debt freedom – once all agreed payments are completed, remaining unsecured debts are written off.
