Restructuring and formal insolvency

Kevin’s work spans advice for businesses under financial pressure and formal insolvency appointments. TRE helps directors examine business viability, cashflow and restructuring options. BusinessRescueExpert provides guidance on procedures including administration, company voluntary arrangements and liquidation.

The role of an adviser differs from the statutory responsibilities of an appointed office holder. The engagement and any appointment documentation explain the role being undertaken in each matter.
