The Liquidation Ready Review

A structured commercial review designed for directors whose company is experiencing serious financial difficulty or considering liquidation.

01

Confidential Director Consultation

We begin with a confidential discussion with the directors. We want to understand what the business does, what has happened, when problems started, current trading, immediate cash requirements, creditor pressure, HMRC, banking, Personal Guarantees, director concerns and what action has already been taken.

This normally takes between 60 and 90 minutes.

02

Company Health Check

We then work through a structured review covering the principal areas likely to matter.

Financial
Cash, creditors, debtors, tax, loans, assets and liabilities.
Directors
Director loan accounts, remuneration, dividends, expenses and significant decisions.
Security
Bank charges, debentures, Personal Guarantees and secured borrowing.
Transactions
Recent payments, asset disposals and connected-party transactions.
Operations
Employees, stock, customers, suppliers, leases and contracts.
Records
Accounts, management information, tax records, board records and supporting documentation.
03

Risk & Action Report

The review produces a concise working report. Issues are divided into three categories.

GREENNo immediate issue identified from the information supplied.
AMBERNeeds clarification, supporting information, documentation or further review.
REDRequires prompt consideration and/or specialist advice from an Insolvency Practitioner, solicitor, accountant or tax adviser before further action is taken.

The report is a practical management document, not a legal opinion or formal insolvency assessment.

04

Action & Wind-Down Plan

Where appropriate, we help prepare a practical action plan covering information still required, cash management, collection of debtors, stock, preservation of company assets, employee issues, customer commitments, supplier issues, contracts, Personal Guarantees, records, professional advice required and preparation for an IP meeting.

Any decision about continuing to trade where insolvency is suspected should be taken with appropriate professional insolvency advice.

05

IP-Ready Information Pack

If liquidation becomes necessary, we help organise information for the Insolvency Practitioner. Rather than trying to reconstruct events under pressure, directors have already begun assembling the relevant information and explaining significant decisions.

The objective is straightforward: a clear, organised and transparent handover.

Start with the facts.
