One experienced point of support through a complex process
Hurworth Consulting gives the client one experienced person who can understand the overall situation, organise the practical work and help ensure that the correct professionals and stakeholders remain connected.
What Hurworth Consulting does

Identifies immediate priorities
Highlights deadlines, missing documents, urgent creditor action, asset risks and the professional advice that needs to be obtained.
Prepares the information
Creates creditor, liability, asset, property, income and expenditure schedules together with clear background summaries.
Coordinates the professionals
Organises communication with licensed insolvency practitioners, solicitors, accountants, valuers, agents and other specialists.
Manages communications

Maintains momentum
Tracks outstanding actions, follows up information requests and helps the client stay focused on the agreed process.
Supporting services

Company and director support
Typical reasons for instruction
- The company cannot pay creditors as liabilities fall due.
- HMRC arrears, statutory demands or a winding-up petition are creating urgent pressure.
- A secured lender, receiver or other creditor is taking or threatening enforcement action.
- Directors need to understand what information must be assembled before speaking to a licensed insolvency practitioner. Hurworth Consulting can assist with this preparation and make an introduction to an appropriate practitioner where required.
- The company has property, development interests, vehicles, equipment or other assets that need to be identified and documented.
- The directors are considering a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL).

Important
