How Keywood Group Can Help if Your Company Is Insolvent
By Keywood Group
Financial difficulties can be one of the most stressful experiences for a business owner or director. If your company is struggling to pay its debts, facing creditor pressure, or at risk of legal action, it’s crucial to act early. At Keywood Group, we provide expert guidance and practical solutions to help companies navigate insolvency while protecting directors and maximising value.
Understanding Insolvency
A company is considered insolvent when it cannot pay its debts as they fall due or when its liabilities exceed its assets. Common signs include:
- Cashflow problems and mounting unpaid bills
- Overdue tax liabilities to HMRC
- Supplier pressure and withdrawn credit
- Repeated reliance on short-term loans
Ignoring these warning signs can quickly escalate the problem, potentially leading to compulsory liquidation and personal risk for directors.
How Keywood Group Supports Directors and Businesses
At Keywood Group, we guide companies through every stage of financial difficulty. Our services include:
- Early Assessment and Strategy
We start by reviewing your financial position, cashflow, and creditor obligations. By understanding the scope of the problem, we help you identify the most suitable options for your business.
- Restructuring Solutions
We advise on formal and informal restructuring tools, including:
- Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVAs) – negotiate debt repayment plans with creditors
- Administration – protect the company from creditor action while exploring rescue strategies
- Pre-pack Sales – sell the business or assets efficiently to preserve value
- Creditor Negotiation
Our team engages directly with creditors, including banks, landlords, and suppliers, to negotiate terms, defer payments, or restructure debt, helping businesses stabilise and continue trading where possible.
- Compliance and Director Support
Navigating insolvency involves strict legal responsibilities. We guide directors on:
- Avoiding wrongful trading
- Maintaining accurate records
- Complying with statutory obligations
- Practical Implementation
From appointing licensed practitioners to coordinating asset sales, our team handles the practical side of insolvency, ensuring processes are smooth, transparent, and compliant with regulations.
Why Acting Early Matters
The sooner you seek advice, the more options you have. Early intervention can:
- Preserve the value of the business
- Protect directors from personal liability
- Maintain relationships with key stakeholders
- Avoid unnecessary costs and legal complications
Procrastination can limit your choices and make recovery impossible.
