Do you need business recovery?
There are two clear tests that you can use now to determine if you should seek further help and advice from us.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
The cash flow insolvency test
Cash flow problems are often an early warning sign of insolvency. You might find yourself unable to pay creditors, including HMRC and suppliers, in full and when their invoices are due.
To carry out the cash flow test, first create a list of your short-term incomings. Then list your current outgoings and the dates they are due. If the incomings cannot be made to meet your outgoings at the right time, your business is technically insolvent.
When caught early, this is a situation where business recovery can help.
A cash flow forecast is an essential tool to plan ahead for your business. If you don’t have one and need help creating one, our downloadable guide talks you through how to create and use one. You can download it here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
The balance sheet insolvency test
The balance sheet test looks at your business from a wider angle, taking into account the value of all your company assets such as stock, money in the bank and property or machinery that you own. When put against your liabilities, including employees’ salaries and payments to HMRC, if you have more debts than you can cover with your assets then you’re in an insolvent position.
It’s time to take action.

Formal business recovery solutions
If your company is experiencing difficulties now but has the potential to be successful in the future, with some help and guidance, we can use a formal business recovery process like a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA). Part of a CVA is a negotiation with your creditors on repayment of debts. This needs to be supported by a realistic business plan that shows them you can afford these payments.
In other cases, it might be more appropriate to use a company administration or Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation to close your company and save the parts of your business that are working under a new company. This might sound extreme but formal business recovery processes like these are an effective way of shedding any company debts and keeping your core business alive.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”247779″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Other ways we can help[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]Insolvency advice for company directors & business owners >
