ABOUT BWA INSOLVENCY
We are insolvency specialists, making us your best option when you need a way through turbulent times
Working with BWA Insolvency
At BWA, our most important work is helping businesses avoid insolvency and steering them toward recovery.
For this reason, we are experts in Voluntary Administration, having successfully steered businesses out of trouble where other insolvency experts have said the only option is to liquidate. We work closely with our appointees to ensure all options have been considered and view liquidation as the last option in insolvent circumstances.
If closure must happen, we aim to make the process as painless as possible – financially, legally and emotionally – for the creditors and the company. We appreciate that situations are often complex and will work towards swift resolutions, using our knowledge of the complex nature of insolvency law to provide the best options for all parties involved.
As an appointee, we aim to alleviate your fears and allow you to move forward without the burden of the past weighing you down. Our services include voluntary administration, company restructuring, liquidation and receivership.
Navigating business failure can be daunting, especially when you find yourself in unfamiliar territory. At BWA Insolvency, we understand that making informed decisions requires a deep understanding of the processes and potential risks at hand. That's why we have a transparent fee policy: no charges for pre-appointment activities, including information gathering and issue discussions. We provide you with the insights you need so you can make well-informed decisions without the burden of upfront costs. Once all relevant information is gathered, we'll present the available options and help guide you toward the best course of action for your unique situation.
Our no-fee, no-obligation initial consultation will help you understand your options before you engage an insolvency expert.
