At Bell & Company, we specialise in strategic negotiations that deliver life-changing financial solutions. Today, we want to share a case where we helped a client avoid bankruptcy by securing a remarkable settlement.
Our client came to us after being pursued for an Overdrawn Directors’ Loan of £360,000. This loan had accumulated over several years, and by the time he sought our help, his company’s liquidation had been ongoing for quite some time.
The liquidator, eager to finalise the matter quickly, was pressing for an urgent resolution. With significant financial pressure mounting, the risk of bankruptcy was very real – and that’s where we stepped in.
From the outset, our strategy was clear: Engage directly with the liquidator and their appointed solicitor. Emphasise the age of the debt as a key negotiating point. Push for a commercially viable settlement rather than prolonged litigation.
Thankfully, the liquidator took a pragmatic approach and was willing to negotiate constructively. With determined back-and-forth discussions, we were able to reduce the debt from £360,000 to just £15,000 – an incredible saving of £345,000.
Bankruptcy. Plain and simple. The financial and personal consequences would have been severe. This case highlights the power of expert negotiation and swift action. Even when a case seems long overdue for resolution, there are always options – as long as you have the right team on your side.
Too many directors rush into insolvency agreements without fully understanding the consequences…or the alternatives available to them. Taking the time to explore your options could mean saving your business, protecting your personal finances, and keeping creditors off your back. We’re not here to sugarcoat things, financial distress isn’t easy. But with the right advice and a clear strategy, there’s always a way forward.
The sooner you act, the more options you have. Don’t wait for things to get worse. Call us at 0330 159 5820
