Delivering positive outcomes in tough times
We work together with stakeholders, creating positive outcomes from challenging situations. For businesses and individuals facing difficulties – defaulting borrowers or debtors, creditor pressure, mounting debt, rising costs, reduced cash flow, financial and reputational risks – we can help.
Our dedicated client services team advises and supports creditors in the recovery of their debts, both before and after formal insolvency proceedings. Using our collective experience and strong links to our professional community, we offer innovative solutions.
We’ll always try to avoid a formal insolvency procedure. However, if a business can’t be rescued, we work with its directors, lenders and creditors to maximise value for all stakeholders.
Developing solvent exit strategies
Where a solvent company is no longer needed – corporate simplification, retirement, personal service companies with contractors returning to employment – there are various ways forward. Our team can help companies and groups looking to streamline their corporate structure, both to reduce ongoing administrative costs and assist with exit and tax planning.
Guidance through restructuring and M&A
By stabilising companies that are experiencing financial difficulties, we help stakeholders assess their options. With the assistance of our corporate finance team, we can improve a company’s liquidity, cash flow, debt structuring, cost controls and turnaround strategies.
We can also assist with buying or selling a distressed business. Mergers and acquisitions are often complex – we have the resources and expertise to act with the speed often necessary when the situation is distressed or accelerated.
Meet the team
Our licensed insolvency practitioners have a solid background in accountancy, banking and litigation. We also draw on experience from working with HMRC and the Official Receiver’s Office. With long-standing relationships with banks, alternative funders, key suppliers, landlords and government bodies, we can handle negotiations on your behalf.
Led by five partners and located across the City, St Albans, Heathrow, Redhill and Romford, we deliver a personal service and bring a wealth of experience to the table.
Part of a global practice
Being part of a multidisciplinary practice means we can call on the expertise of our wider colleagues at Moore Kingston Smith. We work closely with our corporate finance, legal and tax teams to secure the best outcome for clients.
And, as part of the Moore Global Network, spanning more than 100 countries, we can enlist the help of our international colleagues if your business has interests outside the UK.
