Proven & Qualified Guidance for Company Directors
If your business is struggling with debt, choosing the right advice matters. At Anderson Brookes, we’ve helped thousands of company directors take back control with clear, regulated guidance that puts their needs first. We specialise in helping limited companies close down with debt, offering fast, practical solutions that are backed by experience and tailored to your situation.
We’re not a call centre or a lead generation firm. We’re a licensed insolvency practice with a team of experienced professionals who understand the pressure you’re under. You’ll speak directly with a qualified adviser, and we’ll give you straightforward answers from the very first call.
Specialists in Limited Company Debt and Closure
Unlike some firms who offer insolvency services alongside other legal or financial work, we focus entirely on business debt and company closure. That means every part of our service is designed around the real challenges that directors face – from dealing with HMRC and Bounce Back Loan arrears to understanding your duties under insolvency law.
We don’t just explain your options. We act on them quickly, helping you meet your legal obligations and stop the stress of creditor pressure. Most of our clients are able to enter liquidation in less than eight working days.
A Track Record You Can Trust
With more than 25 years’ experience and a dedicated team of licensed insolvency practitioners, Anderson Brookes has built a reputation for doing things the right way. Our advice is based on real expertise, not guesswork. Every recommendation we give is grounded in regulation, experience and a clear understanding of your business’s position.
Clients regularly come to us after being referred by their accountant or after speaking to other firms that didn’t fully explain the process. We often hear the same feedback – “I wish I’d called you first.”
Fast Action When It Matters Most
When your company can’t pay its debts, timing is everything. The longer you wait, the fewer options you may have. That’s why we prioritise quick responses, fast case turnaround, and clear communication throughout.
We take care of everything – from preparing the paperwork to contacting creditors and helping you access redundancy payments if you qualify. You won’t be left guessing or chasing updates. You’ll have a named case manager who’ll guide you through every stage.
Testimonials
Our clients praise our professionalism, reliability, and the exceptional support we provide during challenging times, helping thousands of company directors through insolvency, liquidation, and business debt solutions.
Honest Advice, Clear Costs
There’s no pressure to go ahead, and no cost for an initial consultation. We’ll explain your options and give you a full breakdown of what to expect, including fees, timelines, and likely outcomes.
Many of our clients are surprised at how affordable the process is. Because we focus entirely on this type of work, we’ve built a cost-effective model that allows us to offer a high-quality service without inflated fees. We regularly save directors thousands of pounds compared to more generalist or larger firms.
You’re Not Alone – We’re With You at Every Step
We understand how difficult it can be to pick up the phone and talk about closing your business. But we also know that speaking to someone who understands your situation can make all the difference. Our job is to make this process easier and to help you move on.
Whether you’re facing supplier pressure, falling behind on tax, or just unsure what to do next, we’ll help you see the full picture and take the right next step.
