Business Recovery & Insolvency

Expert help when you need it most

Bishop Fleming has one of the UK’s top 20 Business Recovery and Insolvency teams, committed to working with companies, business owners and individuals to steer the right course out of the crisis. The earlier we’re consulted, the greater the chance of a recovery.

Business Recovery

Even the most successful business can hit a crisis, which can often be triggered by a cash-flow problem. At these times everything can seem to move too fast, involving complex new terminology and procedures, and company directors can be unwittingly vulnerable to personal liability.

Working with you we can quickly explore whether a rescue route is realistic and viable, and assist you with appropriate procedures. We may find that things are not as terminal as you think, and that a programme for recovery can be put in place. If you really have reached the point of no return, we will ensure that you get the essential professional advice and guidance necessary to move forward with your life.

Personal Insolvency

Being under financial pressure is one of the most stressful experiences anyone can undergo. Couple this with a maze of terminology and phrases that are often confusing and the situation may seem bleak.

Bishop Fleming’s team of insolvency experts can help you, whether your debt has arisen from misfortune or simple overspending. Formal bankruptcy is sometimes avoidable; and we can guide you through the different settlement options that may provide more flexibility than you could imagine.
