If you have a business
that is struggling at present, you have arrived at the correct place
to take expert advice on what to look out for, and what to do if you
want to avoid personal liability and correctly move your company through
to rescue or closure. Company rescue is something we are very good at.
You may already
have ascertained problems with the business such as breaking through
your overdraft limit on a regular basis, not having paid VAT or tax
for the last two quarters or months, or moving to a new set of suppliers
to make use of new lines of credit. If this sounds familiar and you
think that you need a company rescue, what you also need to take on
board and act upon are the following:
• As a director
you can be personally liable for your company debts if you spot that
your company is in trouble but disregard this and then increase the
losses to creditors. So if you think you are in trouble and have any
doubt that you can trade out of it you must take advice.
• You may
be too close to the problem to see the solution. We are dispassionate
and can offer non obligatory common sense advice about a company rescue
in whatever form is best.
• If you
want to try to get out of the problem yourself, then you need to minute
all the decisions that you make and the reasons why you made them.
Be prepared to be able to argue why decisions were taken. If the business
does eventually fail despite your further efforts, you may be required
to explain why you failed to act earlier to shut the business.
• To enable
us to have an informed discussion, quickly set out your assets and
liabilities, your income and expenditure, what you own and what is
charged. It’s as simple as that and we will be able very quickly
to get to the heart of the matter.
• Now, what
do you plan to do? Is this company going forward, or do you need to
create a new company as part of your company rescue, possibly to take
over what is left and profitable of your business? How will you do
things differently? I was dealing with a pub chain recently who spent
£8,000 on soft fruit garnishes. Crazy. They were able to keep
the gin and tonic brigade happy for half this amount. A simple change
freeing up £4,000. You must have similar examples in your business.
• Until
you decide where you are going with your company rescue, only commit
to pay wages (and review your wage costs as well) and insurances (in
case of disaster).
If your plan allows
you to move on then contact us, and we can help you put it in place.
If you cannot continue despite your plan, contact us and we’ll
have another solution for you. So basically whatever you do in seeking
a company rescue, contact us. Advice is free: taking no action may cost
you a fortune.
