Most of the cases we deal with are referred to us. This may be by a solicitor who:

• has been asked for advice by a client who is in financial difficulty and does not know what to do.
• has a client that has lost a legal case and they can not afford the fees.
• they are acting for a client trying to recover a debt.

In these circumstances they will be referred to us with the business owners’ consent for an initial confidential telephone call or meeting to discuss the options.

It is important for us to get a whole picture of the finances to understand what the possible options are so we will ask to see the latest accounts, details of aged creditors, tax debts and bank borrowing.

If you have referred a case to us and it becomes a formal insolvency we will always refer any legal work back to you where possible.  

We help business owners decide on what to do by asking them questions. For example, typical questions may include:

• Do you want to carry on or just close the business?
• Do you want to downsize the business?
• Do you think your business is saleable?

We will then help work out the possible options.

Ask me any questions

You are welcome to contact me with any questions your client has. Please email me david@kirks.co.uk. You can ask my anything and I will help free of charge. We will only need to charge a fee if it becomes a formal insolvency appointment.
