Stop problems spiralling out of control

If there is a lack of working capital and your company is struggling to make tax payments as and when they fall due, it’s best to seek turnaround advice straight away to prevent any further debt issues. Failure to pay business taxes to HMRC could lead to a winding up petition issued against your company.

Rescue methods like a Time to Pay deal with HMRC or a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) are effective restructuring tools if your company is viable. If the business has come to the end of the road, a creditors voluntary liquidation (CVL) may be the best option. A CVL will close down the company and sell assets (if any) for cash to distribute back to creditors.
