Sell a Limited Company That Owes Money.

We act for directors of UK limited companies carrying commercial liabilities — arranging the sale of the company, and handling the tax and statutory filing work either way.

Two Things, Done Properly

We arrange the sale of UK limited companies that carry commercial liabilities, and we handle corporation tax, VAT, PAYE and statutory filing. Most directors who come to us need both.

Most Directors Leave It Too Late.

About us

Accountants who deal in difficult positions.

We work with directors of UK limited companies where the numbers have stopped working — arranging a sale where that is the right route, and getting the compliance position straight either way. We are not licensed insolvency practitioners, and we say so when you need one.

Straight Answers

If a sale is not the right route for your company, you will hear it in the first conversation, before any fee is discussed. Where you need a licensed insolvency practitioner, we say so and point you to one.

The assessment costs nothing. If a transaction proceeds, the fee is fixed and confirmed in writing before any documents are drawn up.

Where the information is complete and there is no petition outstanding, completion in two to three weeks is normal. Most of the timetable depends on how quickly documents can be produced at your end.

Our work doesn’t end with a final presentation—it starts with a shared commitment to your long-term success. We believe that true impact comes from building relationships, not just delivering recommendations.

That’s why we go the extra mile to ensure our strategies are implemented effectively and deliver tangible results.

How we work

We start with your figures, not with a pitch. The first conversation tells you which routes are realistically open — including the ones we have no part in.

Our Focus

We act for the outgoing shareholder and we are paid by the outgoing shareholder. Weigh what we tell you accordingly — and we will always tell you to have the documents reviewed independently.

Our Approach

The acquirers we work with are established trading businesses that hold assets. What they pay depends on the creditor position, and it is negotiated case by case.

Our Experience

Compliance and company sales sit in the same team, so the filing position gets dealt with properly whether or not a sale ever happens.

Find the Right Solution

Arrears that cannot be cleared from trading, with penalties and interest building on top of them.

Get the Filings Current
Estimated assessments replaced with real figures — which frequently reduces the debt on its own.
Negotiate Time to Pay
A proposal built from figures the company can actually service, rather than one that lapses in three months.
Consider a Sale
Where the arrears cannot be serviced at all, selling the company may be an option. The liability stays with the company.

Suppliers on stop, a landlord threatening forfeiture, enforcement agents instructed, or a statutory demand served.

Check What They Can Actually Do
Retention of title, rent recovery, forfeiture and enforcement all work differently. Knowing which applies changes what you do next.
Be Careful Who You Pay
Paying the creditor who shouts loudest is the transaction most likely to be unwound later.
Act Before a Petition
Once a petition is advertised the bank account is usually frozen and the options narrow sharply.

Retirement, a legacy company you want off your hands, or a business you can no longer fund.

Compare the Routes
Sale, CVL, MVL, administration, strike off — cost, timescale and what each means for you, set side by side.
Know What a Sale Does Not Do
It does not release a personal guarantee, and it does not change your position as a former director.
Get the Records in Order
Whatever route you take, the company books need to be complete and handed over. That part is straightforward and it matters.
Where directors get stuck

The Problems We Are Brought In To Solve

Filings Behind

Returns not filed, estimated assessments standing in place of real figures, and penalties building on top. Getting the filings current is usually the first thing that has to happen.

Arrears You Cannot Service

HMRC, suppliers, a landlord or a lender wanting money the business cannot generate. We set out which routes are realistically open, including the ones we have no part in.

Time Running Out

A statutory demand served, enforcement agents instructed, or a petition threatened. At that stage the timetable is no longer yours, and the right answer changes.

Straight Answers for Directors Under Pressure

We Tell You What We Would Not Do

If a sale is not the right route for your company, you will hear that in the first conversation, before any fee is discussed. Where you need a licensed insolvency practitioner, we say so and point you to one.

No Overselling the Transaction

A share sale does not release a personal guarantee and it does not change your position as a former director. We put that on our own website rather than let you discover it later.

Fixed Fees, Agreed Up Front

The assessment costs nothing. If a transaction proceeds, the fee is fixed, confirmed in writing before any documents are drawn up, and payable only on completion.
