Our Insolvency Services in Chorley

Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL)

When your company can’t continue trading, we’ll help you close it down legally and correctly. A CVL protects you from further creditor action and brings clarity in difficult circumstances.

HMRC and Bounce Back Loan Debt

Behind on tax or unable to repay a bounce back loan? You’re not alone – and we can help. Our team provides straightforward advice tailored to your company’s situation.

Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA)

In some cases, your company can be rescued by negotiating a structured repayment plan with creditors. We’ll advise if a CVA is appropriate and manage the process end-to-end.

Director Redundancy Claims

Many directors don’t realise they may be eligible for redundancy pay if the company closes. We can help you make a claim and potentially reduce your out-of-pocket costs.

Business Rescue and Restructuring

We always explore if the business can be saved. Whether through time-to-pay arrangements, refinancing, or reorganisation, our priority is finding the best solution for your situation.

We know Chorley, and we know the pressures facing local business owners. Whether you’re based in the town centre, Buckshaw Village, Adlington, or surrounding areas in Lancashire, our team understands the local economy and the realities for small and medium-sized businesses.

Having to shut down your business is a very emotional and scary journey and although you think you’ve done everything correctly there’s always something you get wrong , small print , and rules one is unaware of which can surprise bite you on the bum and ruin your day ! We were fortunate to have Laura , Katie and the background Riki who considering they have a fairly thankless job to do they were always polite , very patient , and as helpful as they could be considering they generally were giving bad news which was rarely expected or welcome. Altogether they were good listeners and helpful we had to understand they still had to follow rules and a job to do and they managed the balancing act extremely well. Many thanks

We had the unpleasant, highly stressful experience of being the Directors of a business that was beyond help, despite our best efforts. Jon was absolutely brilliant, going way above and beyond. Not only was Jon a professional, knowledgeable person helping us go through the process of a liquidation, but he was also a safe pair of hands, and an empathetic voice to discuss even the tiniest detail with. He never rushed us, he used language that we understood and he was an excellent communicator. Jon made a very stressful, upsetting time feel manageable and in control.

Efficient and Professional Experience Two words to describe the experience: efficient and professional. No doubt you can appreciate that it’s a very stressful time for directors, but from my initial telephone conversation with Mike, and the decision to enter into a CVL, the process from start to finish was completed within two weeks. In addition to Mike, I would also like to mention the professionalism of the two other members of the AB team, Steve and Emmy. Worth mentioning as well that, where it was possible, the lines of communication were via WhatsApp which again massively improved and streamlined the whole process.
