Why Don’t We Publish Testimonials Or Have Online Reviews?
As you would expect, our clients value discretion and confidentiality, and we fully respect that. Understandably, most business owners do not wish to publicly discuss or publish online reviews regarding their Business Debt, sale, transfer or exit of their company.
As a result, public review platforms are not always a reliable measure of quality within our sector.
Many of our clients come to us through recommendations from previous clients, accountants, business advisers and professional contacts who have first-hand experience of our service
The Growing Burden Of Running A Limited Company
There are many reasons why a company director may decide that continuing to run a limited company is no longer the right option.
In recent years, the responsibilities and administrative burden associated with being a company director have increased significantly.
Directors may find themselves dealing with:
• Increasing Companies House compliance requirements
• Identity verification requirements for directors and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs)
• Rising filing, accounting and administrative costs
• Accounting software and record-keeping obligations
• Corporation Tax, VAT and PAYE responsibilities
• The ongoing time, stress and expense involved in maintaining a dormant or unwanted company
• Retirement, relocation, ill health or changing personal circumstances
• Cashflow difficulties, bad debtors and other commercial pressures
Business ownership inevitably brings both good times and challenging times. Circumstances and markets can change, and personal priorities often evolve. As fellow business owners, we appreciate that deciding to step away from a company is not necessarily a sign of failure, but often a practical business decision. For many directors, it is simply time to move on to the next chapter
Frequently Asked Questions
Is transferring my company legal?
Yes. It is perfectly legal within UK law for another person or company to acquire ownership and control of a limited company.
What happens to unsecured Debt
Any unsecured business debt stays with the company not the previous director
What happens to a Bounce Back Loan
A Bounce Back Loan provided to a limited company was generally made on an unsecured basis and remains a liability of the company. We can discuss your specific circumstances during the assessment process.
How long does the process take?
Once terms have been agreed, the process is often completed within 48 hours, although timescales can vary depending on the circumstances.
Why not simply appoint a Liquidator?
For some companies, formal liquidation may be the most appropriate solution. However, liquidation is not always the only option available.
Where suitable, our service can provide directors with an alternative route to leave their company through a change of ownership and control.
Many directors find that this approach involves less administration, less disruption and often significantly lower costs than a formal liquidation process. It can also provide a quicker and more straightforward way to move on from a company they no longer wish to run.
Every company’s circumstances are different, which is why we take the time to listen and assess each case individually before advising whether our service may be of use.
Transparent Pricing
Fees start from £2,501, subject to the company’s circumstances.
