Here's How We Can Help
Company Rescue and Restructuring
Thinking About Closing Your Company?
Thinking About Closing Your Company?
If the company is viable but just needs to restructure then a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) could be the answer.
A CVA allows your company to repay a fixed amount in monthly installments that you can comfortably afford, generally over a period of 5 years, and at the end of the period, any outstanding debt is automatically written off. Creditors vote on the CVA proposal usually at a virtual meeting and decide whether to approve the CVA. This approach allows the company to continue to trade on and pay creditors what it can afford to pay, rather than Liquidation which could possibly return a much lower payment in the pound, if anything at all.

Common Issues Businesses face
Cash Flow Issues
Bounce Back Loans
Bounce Back Loans
Since the economic crash of 2008, it has been increasingly difficult for Companies to raise much-needed cashflow in the form of overdrafts and/or loans from their bankers.
Factoring is now a viable method of finding that much-needed cash flow quickly. We have over the years established good working relationships with numerous Factors, and because of this we may be able to source a better deal than a Director would if he/she were to go to the Factor directly. Please call us to discuss what we can offer your Company in this respect.
Bounce Back Loans
Bounce Back Loans
Bounce Back Loans
During the lockdowns, many small to medium-sized companies took out a bounce-back loan of up to £50,000 in order to save their companies.
With Inflation being at its highest in 2022 and interest rates rising in 2023, it has become even harder for businesses to pay back their bounce-back loans.
If the payments are now affecting your cash flow, we strongly recommend you contact us for advice as soon as possible. We can help you understand what affects it can have on your company and even you as a Director.
HMRC and Winding up Petitions
HMRC and Winding up Petitions
HMRC and Winding up Petitions
During the pandemic the HMRC and other trade creditors were stopped from filing winding-up petitions against companies, however, that has now changed and winding-up petitions from the HMRC and trade creditors are now reaching pre-pandemic levels.
If it is that you're behind with the HMRC and/or trade creditors, some arrangements can be put into place to prevent creditors from filing winding-up petitions against your company, taking the pressure off and giving you the breathing space you need to continue trading.

HMRC and Winding up Petitions
As a Director CCJs against your company can be stressful, especially if your company has fallen on hard times and you are unable to pay creditors.
CCJs can also escalate into bailiff action or a winding-up petition if not paid within 30 days.
If your company has received a CCJ and needs advice then we are here to help, as there are arrangements that can be put into place to stop bailiffs and other potential legal action against your company.

The cost of living crisis and the Pandemic
There were occasions in 2020 and early 2021 when companies were forced to shut down as they were “nonessential” businesses.
With the loss of trade, a lot of companies have found themselves unable to pay their liabilities as and when due. On top of that, we have a cost of living crisis with Interest rates.

There were occasions in 2020 and early 2021 when companies were forced to shut down as they were “nonessential” businesses.
With the loss of trade, a lot of companies have found themselves unable to pay their liabilities as and when due. On top of that, we have a cost of living crisis with Interest rates.
Even though the business is viable, economic impacts like the cost of living crisis can be just enough to push your company into liquidation.
If the above applies to your company, and if it was viable pre-COVID-19, then a company voluntary arrangement may be the ideal solution to get your Company back on track.
Alternatively to the company voluntary arrangement, business consulting may be what you need and our free consultation explaining all the possible avenues could make all the difference.
