We work with Accountancy and Legal firms in a number of specialist areas:

We Help Clients of Accountancy and Legal Firms overcome their cash flow and other finance problems

First and foremost, we aim to help businesses that are facing financial difficulties and potential insolvency turn their fortunes around. The Poppleton & Appleby team is made up of experienced insolvency practitioners and business turnaround specialists. Once appointed or referred by an accountant or solicitor, we work on business recovery plans for businesses with cash flow and other financial problems.

With our long experience of working in the business recovery and insolvency arena, our greatest strength is in understanding the challenges a business is facing and acting quickly and decisively in order to make a difference.

It might be that a business with cash flow problems can’t pay its VAT bill or its corporation tax. This can lead to the threat of a winding up order. Cash flow problems can also lead to creditor pressure and other problems. With the possibility of insolvency looming, the sooner a business acts to find solutions to its problems, the greater the chance that the business can be put on the path to recovery and profitable trading.

Once we are appointed, we will start the turnaround process by negotiating with HMRC and other creditors to find the best possible solution. We also advise on restructuring, finance and funding options.

What if Insolvency Cannot be Avoided?

As Licensed Insolvency Practitioners, we are also appointed to act as administrators when circumstances require it. Once again, our aim is to obtain the best possible result, whether that is saving as many jobs as possible or selling off parts of the business as a going concern. If winding up and liquidation is ultimately the only option, then we aim to make it as clean and painless as possible.

Whatever the position of a business, and no matter how difficult a position you as their accountant or solicitor might feel it is in, the first step is to contact us today or call us on 0121 200 2962 for a free initial chat.
