Atherton has helped a couple of my clients find a way forward. They gave them access to the right solicitors, the right advisers and the right buyer to be able to relinquish the issues that formed due to no fault of their own, issues caused by bad advice from previous so-called 'experts' to Covid driving debt that the company will never recover from, despite offering a profitable service / product 

The company helped me get through a stressful period of dealing with a business and Cbills loans we could not manage. It put me in position to move forward with business and life than sink any further. Would highly recommend them. 

Having 2 companies that had been crippled through Covid and lock downs things were not looking good. Looking for a solution I came across National Company Rescue. John explained the process and while it sounded too good to be true it was backed by the law so I took a leap of faith and went ahead with the sale. within 3 days everything was completed in a professional manner and has been a massive weight off my shoulders. My new business is now going from strength to strength so a huge thanks to John and National Company Rescue for giving me the chance to start again. 

Only positive remarks with excellent communication and rounded advice. I have a number of companies that have been handled by Atherton, at first a daunting prospect that once explained instantly removed massive stress. I wouldn’t hesitate to use in the future. 

We were wallowing in debt because of the downturn in work due to covid restrictions we did try to make it but it wouldn’t work and we were falling deeper into debt luckily for us we were shown athertons and they were very professional And assisted us in moving the debt and elevating our situation I would recommend them to any company who are falling into the debt crisis caused by the government 

The company provide a solution based approach that is both clear, concise and easy for all parties to understand. By far the best company I have ever worked with in terms of restructuring of business and providing practical solutions for companies and individuals who find themselves normally with very few options. Simply 5 stars fantastic!!

Business struggling due to the knock on effects of C19. I was initially sceptical, but after meeting John personally I decided to go ahead with John's recommendations. So far so good and a huge load off my mind. The process was quickly arranged using solicitors. John has always been on hand since to assist with any queries and always replies promptly. 

An honest review as a business owner which I think others will find useful. I had lots of worry regarding business liabilities, leases and hmrc debts that escalated quickly and I had no way of repaying then. I saw this service as a great option to relief these stresses but thought seems a little too good to be true. I had no options so I thought I’d give it a go and thankfully they did exactly what they said. Only a few weeks after but company liabilities have been relief. Great option for any business owner struggling. 

Atherton provided precise, salient, and extremely helpful advice and resolved our debt concerns quickly. I am not an easy person to convince and take a cautious approach, but the services and knowledge provided were exceptional. The solicitors used were efficient and highly responsive in actioning the necessary processes, and now we can start to look forward to a productive future. Can't recommend highly enough. 

A number of mistakes were made during the initial start of my business and I got into a mess with HMRC. I tried to ignore the issue for 7 years but eventually it caught up with me. I have schizophrenia and as you can imagine, my stress levels were going to go through the roof. The only option I was presented with was insolvency but with ODL hanging over my head I was scared of being made bankrupt as I have two (2) other successful and viable businesses. John and his team were a godsend. I am now debt-free and can focus on what is really important: My health, my family and my other businesses. Thank you so much.

Great company to deal with! Provided a real alternative to insolvency. It’s a mine field trying to navigate through the process, but John answered all my tricky and difficult questions! Did exactly what they said they would do! Thank you! 

John and his team at Atherton Corporate were excellent. From start to finish they were on point. Every question I had was answered with efficiency and accuracy. The whole process was completed in a week. Thank you for being fantastic.

Hesitant at first but John and his team have been professional throughout and have lifted a massive weight off of my shoulders. Quick to correspond, happy to answer any questions you have or concerns and get on with their job promptly. Very pleased. 

National company Rescue and there team at Atherton Corporate were excellent. From start to finish they were on point. Every question I had was answered with efficiency and accuracy. The whole process was completed in a week. Thank you for being fantastic. 

John and the team at Atherton are seasoned professionals. Was sceptical initially though John was happy to meet in person and walk us through the process. Having witnessed first hand, the horror that others in business have had to endure, I only wish I had met John and the team earlier to give them the alternative that we had. Hugely guiding, supportive, professional & responsive, I can highly recommend Team Atherton. 

Two connected companies both in difficulty with mounting problems and no escape plan. John presented me with options and despite initial concerns, followed through with what they said. It is of course still early days but I hope I can now move forward in a more positive light and concentrate on health and family rather than worry and stress 

I was struggling with corporate debt and accounting bills mainly due to a run of bad accountant choices. I was in a rut with very limited options. Then I came across Jon who opened doors i thought couldn’t be opened. He gave me a way out and the whole process was taken care within a few days. This guy is worth his weight in gold. I really couldn’t recommend him enough! He is a real life saviour. If your struggling with company debt he is the go to man. Thanks for everything 

My business was drowning with corporate debt issues caused by a series of accounting errors. I couldn’t see a way out. Then I met John and he explained the process fully and opened doors I didn’t think could be opened! The whole process was resolved within a few days. He is a saviour and really is worth his weight in gold. If your company is experiencing difficulties with company debt then john is the man to contact. I can’t thank him enough 

Hesitant at first but John and his team have been professional throughout and have lifted a massive weight off of my shoulders. Quick to correspond, happy to answer any questions you have or concerns and get on with their job promptly. Very pleased. 

Came across the company on the internet did some research and came up with no bad reviews. Went ahead and John emailed me back straight away,the process was painless and couldn`t belive how quick it took less than a week.I can now move on with my life having all problems resolved 5 Start to them. 

I came across National Company Rescue by accident whilst doing some research but after speaking to John and completing some further research I felt at ease with the process. John and his team made this very easy though and the clarity and speed of their responses were perfect. A very stressful time which was made by John to be calm. I would highly recommend 

I was a little worried the whole thing could be a scam but researched it as best I could and went ahead. Company couldn’t trade profitably without me & an injury meant I couldn’t operate for at least a year so I really didn’t have much choice. Selling the company gave me a way out and peace of mind for the first time in months. 

I entered this process as a relatively experienced businessperson whilst also knowing that I was a complete novice in this field. We met with John and I found him to have a lovely, consultative, style. He was with us every step of the way through the entire procedure and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Atherton Corporate to anyone with similar business challenges. I have tagged this as today's date but the "experience" has been ongoing for a couple of months - slowed down by us, not by Atherton - and every single contact has left us feeling better after than we did when whatever worry of ours initiated the contact in the first place. 

John did exactly as he said and was a massive support through the whole process. Everyone involved was easy to deal with. It was quick, straight forward and to be honest, helped change my life and get away from the relentless work-life I'd been living for too long. I really appreciate the help John - thank you. I wouldn't hesitate to turn to John again in the future if I ever found myself in the same situation again. 

in what were some of my most difficult days, I was not always at my best. Thankfully John, a true professional was patient, calm and understanding as he and his team expertly negated through the whole process seamlessly. This provided me with much needed assurance, peace of mind and a fresh chance at life. Forever in their debt, I would have no hesitation in recommending Atherton Corporate to anyone in this position.
