Success story
How We Cleared £13,000 Of Business Debt And Gave One Director Their Life Back
Reading time: ~3 minutes
When They Found Us
On 1 January 2024 a sole director of a limited company reached out to us overwhelmed with worry.
Nearly £13,000 of business debt was hanging over them. Personal credit cards were propping up the business. Their own salary was disappearing into bills that never seemed to shrink.
At typical credit card rates that kind of balance can swallow hundreds in interest every month. Sleep was gone. Confidence was gone. Hope was thin.
What We Walked Into
The business was struggling to stay afloat. Cash was tight. Every payment felt like a fire to put out.
The director felt alone and responsible for everything. The fear of letting people down had become a daily weight.
They did not need numbers. They needed a plan and someone in their corner.
The Plan We Put In Place
We started with a calm call and a clear promise. We will take the pressure off.
Our small business accountant team completed a full financial review. We mapped every bill, every creditor and every commitment.
We helped them take control of their debt by putting a clear plan in place. We streamlined their finances so they could see exactly where the money was going. Most importantly, we gave them a step-by-step path to reduce what they owed, instead of watching it grow.
We worked entirely online using secure portals and video calls. No travel needed. Whether you are in London Manchester Edinburgh or abroad we can help the same way.
The Turning Point
With the immediate fires under control we helped the director face the bigger question. Was it right to keep pushing a business that was draining their health and their family finances?
Together we decided on a professional and legal closure. With the help of our contact, we guided them through a formal company liquidation that wrote off the remaining liabilities. No noise. No shame. Just a clean end done properly.
The result was simple. Business debts cleared and written off. Personal pressure lifted. The company was closed the right way and the director could finally breathe.
Life After The Storm
Over time the anxiety eased. The director moved into full time employment with stable income and no business debts chasing them.
They told us it felt like dropping a backpack of bricks. Money stopped being a fight. Health improved. Home life felt lighter.
When you remove a £13,000 drag on your life the difference is not just financial. It is sleep. It is focus. It is getting your weekends back.
Why This Worked
We treated the person not just the numbers. We turned a tangle of bills into a simple plan. When the facts showed the company could not recover we stood by them and closed it with dignity.
This is what a trusted adviser does. We are more than a tax accountant. We are your calm voice in the storm.
