Guidance for directors under pressure

Important: This website provides general information for directors of companies registered in England and Wales. Different laws and procedures apply in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

What to expect when you ask for help

Financial pressure can make the unknown feel worse. A first conversation is simply a way to understand what is happening and what deserves attention.

1

Request contact

Leave only your name, phone number and email address.

2

We contact you

Someone from our support team will contact you by the end of the next working day.

3

Tell us what is happening

You do not need perfect accounts or all the answers. The conversation is calm and without judgment.

4

Identify immediate concerns

We will help surface deadlines, creditor pressure and the questions that need attention first.

5

Discuss the next step

That may be more information, practical preparation or an introduction to an appropriately qualified professional.

You remain in control. Asking for a conversation does not commit you to a formal insolvency process or to appointing anyone.

Request a confidential callback

Leave three details and we will contact you by the end of the next working day.

Submitting this form does not commit you to a formal insolvency process or to appointing anyone.

A licensed insolvency practitioner may be needed for a formal procedure. Once formally appointed, their legal responsibilities depend on the procedure and they do not act as a director's personal representative. Early support can help you organise the facts and prepare for appropriate professional advice.
