Informasjon om virksomheten
Om 1st Business Rescue Ltd
Skrevet av virksomheten
1st Business Rescue provides UK company directors with confidential advice on business debt, insolvency, company rescue and company closure. We help directors understand their options when a limited company is struggling financially, including liquidation, Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVAs), pre-pack administration, HMRC debt arrangements and solvent company closure.
We support directors throughout the UK, with advice available by phone, video call and face-to-face appointment.
Business debt, insolvency and company closure advice
Our team helps directors understand the financial and personal implications of company debt before deciding what to do next.
Our areas of advice include:
Liquidation and company closure
Closing a limited company with debts
Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL)
Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) and solvent company closure
Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVA)
Pre-pack administration and pre-pack liquidation
Business rescue and restructuring options
HMRC arrears and Time to Pay arrangements
VAT, PAYE and Corporation Tax debt
Directors' loan accounts and overdrawn directors' loan accounts
Bounce Back Loan and CBILS issues
IR35-related company closure
Director redundancy considerations
Winding-up petitions and compulsory liquidation
General company debt and insolvency advice
Where a formal insolvency procedure is required, we can help directors understand the process and work with licensed insolvency practitioners to identify an appropriate route forward.
Our initial consultation is confidential and focused on understanding the position of both the company and its director before discussing the available options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my limited company cannot pay its debts?
Seek advice as early as possible. Options can include an HMRC Time to Pay arrangement, a CVA, restructuring, administration or liquidation depending on the company's circumstances.
Can I close a limited company that has debts?
Yes. An insolvent company may be closed using a formal procedure such as a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL). The appropriate route depends on the company's financial position.
Can you help with HMRC, VAT or Corporation Tax arrears?
Yes. We advise directors dealing with HMRC arrears including VAT, PAYE and Corporation Tax and can explain options including Time to Pay arrangements and insolvency procedures.
What happens to a Bounce Back Loan if my company is liquidated?
Bounce Back Loans and other company liabilities need to be considered as part of the company's overall insolvency position. We can review the circumstances and explain how they may be treated during liquidation.
What happens if I have an overdrawn director's loan account?
An overdrawn director's loan account can become important during insolvency because money owed by a director to the company may need to be repaid. We recommend reviewing the account before appointing an insolvency practitioner.

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to write this, it means so much to us hearing this back. Its great to hear you felt that way too as that is literally our main goal, support and genuinely care about our customers.
Don't let your business debts drag you down
Having had my hand forced to register as 'a business' due to governmental and industrial ineptitude, debt spiralled as did the cost of living. Barely treading water, Shane provided a well-informed voice of reason and guidance at a time when I was under tremendous pressure.
If you're stuck and need guidance, give him a call.

Professional and dedicated
In times of stress it's often difficult to get clear and helpful advice and help.
Justin, Jessica and Shane did exactly this for me. They've been as supportive as I could have hoped for, and have given me clarity on how to move forward.
A very professional and dedicated team!
A real pleasure to deal with!
