When smaller businesses run into financial difficulty, time is often tight and options may feel limited. When creditor pressure mounts and litigation is threatened, shielding the company and its creditors from incurring any further losses is paramount.

In the face of uncertainty, our specialist SME insolvency team supports limited company directors and shareholders with the expert knowledge and clear insight needed to determine an appropriate route forward.

Looking for insolvency or restructuring advice?

Browse our dedicated restructuring site

Whether you want to throw everything you have at saving the business, or would instead like to explore ways of winding down the company for good, we ensure all options are considered and their viability established before working alongside you to devise and implement a robust strategy to bring matters to an orderly conclusion – all while reducing stress and minimising disruption at every turn.

Our SME insolvency service is offered through our dedicated small business division, BTG Begbies Traynor. With a nationwide team of licensed insolvency practitioners, we specialise in helping small and medium-sized enterprises – where financial and/or operational problems have taken them past the point of rescue – to wind down operations efficiently via Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) and other formal processes.  

At BTG, we pride ourselves on giving advice which is as clear as it is practical and always focused on helping you achieve the best outcome for all parties concerned. We will support you with related issues that often arise as a result of company insolvency, such as personal guarantees, overdrawn directors loan accounts, bounce back loan liabilities, and the risk of disqualification. Our priority is to help you exit responsibly and, where possible, ensure you have the opportunity to start again.
