Our services

Protecting what you've built — at every stage.

Whether the pressure is just starting or a formal process has already begun, there's almost always something that can be done. Here's how we help, before and after insolvency — privately, and led by real experience.

Before — protect & prevent

While there's still room to move.

  • Breathing space from creditors and the pressure
  • Honest guidance on every realistic option
  • Realistic, affordable arrangements with creditors
  • Protecting personal assets and the family home
  • Working alongside your accountant and advisers
  • Exploring every alternative before anything formal
After — recover & rebuild

If it's already begun.

  • Reviewing valuations and decisions, through the proper channels, where they don't look right
  • Annulment of bankruptcy where the grounds are there
  • Checking personal guarantee demands before you pay
  • Constructive negotiation with an appointed trustee
  • Cooperating well with the insolvency practitioner
  • A clear route to a genuine fresh start
The full picture

Everywhere the pressure shows up.

Whatever's landed on you — a bill you can't meet, someone chasing, a decision you're unsure about, or a process already underway — this is the ground we cover.

Breathing space & a plan

Take the pressure off, buy time and get a realistic plan in place so you can stop firefighting.

Pre-insolvency guidance

Honest advice on where you stand and every realistic option weighed — calmly, with no jargon and no process waiting to take over.

Working alongside your IP

Helping you cooperate constructively with the insolvency practitioner or Official Receiver, so the process runs smoother.

Personal guarantees

Signed personally for a business debt? We help you understand it — and check a demand carefully before you pay it.

Constructive negotiation with a trustee

Working through the figure, costs and valuation to reach something fair — in discussion rather than dispute.

After insolvency

Annulment where grounds exist, and a clear path to rebuild. Bankruptcy isn't always the end.

Dealing with a trustee

When a trustee makes a demand.

A demand from a trustee can feel final. It rarely is. We represent your interest calmly and constructively — making sure the figure is right before anyone pays it, and keeping things on a sensible, cooperative footing.

💬

Constructive negotiation

We engage with the trustee calmly and professionally, working toward a fair resolution rather than a fight — in discussion, and in mediation-style talks where that helps.

🔍

Checking the figure

Before you pay, we go through the costs, the valuation and the basis of the claim, so you pay what's genuinely right — not simply what's asked.

🤝

Cooperating with the process

We help you give the insolvency practitioner what they reasonably need, so the process runs smoothly and reflects well on you.

General guidance, not legal advice; outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

How we work

Measured, evidenced, and in the right order.

Many people spend months and mounting costs with no clear progress. We work differently — one point of contact, costs kept in check, and everyone engaged calmly and in the right order, alongside the advisers you already trust. It's why the most valuable call you'll make is often the first one.

1

Letter of authority

You sign a letter of authority and we become the single point of contact, so you're not handling it alone.

2

Full file review

We review the whole file — everything, start to finish.

3

The checks

Registry, records and the payments that actually went through.

4

Build the case

The evidence, the figures and the timeline, in order.

5

Engage calmly

We put a clear, well-evidenced position and work toward a sensible resolution.

Moving on

Selling your business.

Selling the business you've built is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make. We guide owners quietly through every stage — protecting the value, the confidentiality and your interests from first preparation to the final handshake.

A good sale is rarely just about finding a buyer. It's about getting the business ready to be seen at its best, knowing what it's genuinely worth, and negotiating from knowledge rather than pressure. Done the wrong way, value slips away; done carefully, it's protected and often improved.

We act as your single, senior point of contact throughout — running the process quietly in the background so you can keep trading while it's on the market. Nothing is shared without your say-so.

How a sale works with us

  • Finding buyers — quietly approaching the right people without word getting out.
  • Agreeing terms — securing the best price while protecting your position.
  • The checks — handling due diligence efficiently to keep things on track.
  • Getting it done — a clean, well-managed close and handover.
