Sectors We Support with Specialist Liquidation Services

Construction Companies

Cash flow issues, unpaid CIS liabilities, and delayed payments from main contractors continue to impact thousands of small construction firms. If your business can no longer meet its financial commitments, we provide fast and compliant support for construction company liquidation.


Pubs

Pubs have been hit hard by rising costs, energy bills and falling trade. If your pub is no longer financially viable, we offer tailored guidance and a fast route to closing the business properly through a Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL).


Retail

From high street shops to online sellers, many retail businesses are now facing mounting debt, low footfall and unsustainable costs. We help shop owners and e-commerce companies close their business correctly and avoid further stress.


Manufacturing

High energy costs, supply chain disruption and Bounce Back Loan repayments have pushed many manufacturing firms into insolvency. If your business is struggling, we offer clear, fast guidance on closing it down safely.


Haulage and Transport

With fuel prices, driver shortages and tight margins, many haulage and courier businesses are under pressure. If your transport company can’t keep up with its liabilities, we’ll help you wind it down professionally.


Cleaning and Facilities

Low-margin contracts, late client payments and staff costs have left many cleaning and support service providers unable to continue. We help companies in this sector close down quickly and protect their directors from further liability.


Digital and Tech Businesses

SaaS companies, agencies and IT firms are often asset-light but carry high overheads. If your digital business is no longer viable, we’ll help you exit properly, including guidance on any Bounce Back Loan or personal guarantee obligations.


Professional Services

From consultants and architects to accountants and recruitment firms, professional service businesses can be hit hard by delayed client payments and lost contracts. If your firm is no longer sustainable, we’ll help you close it in a structured, compliant way.


Events, Creative and Marketing

Events firms, creative agencies and marketing businesses often depend on seasonal income and recurring clients. If that flow has stopped and debts are building, our team will help you close the company with full support.

CVL Case Studies

Voluntary Company Liquidation Examples

CVL Case Study – Pub

John's Pub in the North West John faced debts of £70,000, mainly owed to HMRC. After failed attempts at payment arrangements, we helped him close the business through a CVL and minimise his personal exposure. We managed employee claims, creditor communication, and asset sale - providing a structured way forward.

CVL Case Study – Large FM Company

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.
