Usman - Restaurant (Manchester)

"We were drowning in bills from HMRC and Non-Domestic Rates. The situation was getting worse each month.  We concluded a company sale to deal with the historical debts and managed to start again"

HMRC & non domestic rates

Simon - Retail Clothing Chain - (Lancashire)

"The recession and the internet have hit our sales hard over the last few years and we were facing a winding up petition from a supplier.  We concluded a company sale which helped to restructure the company.  We lost a few stores but the business is now profitable"

Resolved a winding up petition

Chris - Construction Company (Edinburgh)

"I hadn’t heard of this option until coming across the website.  My solicitor had a conversation with their Director and was satisfied this was a legal process, so we proceeded and have no regrets”

Sold company

Jane - Building Firm (Bristol)

"When our firm got into difficulties we spoke to a couple of Insolvency Practitioners.  They didn’t seem to understand our issues or have any interest in the future of our business.  They only seemed interested in signing us up to their fee agreement. They also demanded to see to all business and personal bank statements over the last few years.  The option of transferring our company seemed like a much simpler option and the paperwork was completed within 3 days. The company along with it’s liabilities were no longer our concern"

An alternative to Insolvency Practitioners

James - Construction Company - (London) 

We had to liquidate a company previously and had such a bad experience with the Insolvency Practitioner, so I didn’t want to go through this again. Selling the company with all the liabilities transferred to the new Directors was a god send, so relieved.

Alternative to liquidation

Mohammed - Data Company (London)

We had a large liability with HMRC and there was no way we could pay this.  By selling my company, the debt transferred to the new Directors and shareholders who are experienced in dealing with these situations”

HMRC liabilities

Derek - Electrical Company (Wales) 

“I wanted to avoid  my company going into liquidation, as a Director of a liquidated company, this would prevent me from tendering for future work with local authorities”  By selling the company, this avoided that scenario”

Allison - Recruitment Company (Berkshire) 

"One of our main clients went into liquidation and this had a domino effect and left us with significant VAT and PAYE liabilities.  Our accountant suggested that we go down the route of a company sale as it was the quickest way to deal with the liabilities and would not leave me with reputational damage should any future clients look me up on the Companies House register”

Unavoidable VAT & PAYE liabilities

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.
