WOULD your best friend tell you that the dress you are considering makes your bum look big? You’d like to think so. But would they?
When you’ve got your own business and things are getting tough who would you turn to? Hopefully your accountants will be willing to lend a bit of a hand; but what about the money you owe them for the last set of accounts. If you talk to your bank are you going to be worried that they will immediately call in the overdraft? Who to talk to then?
Having been practicing as insolvency practitioners in Northampton’s St. James area for 35 years now we’d like to suggest we are the go-to people. What we do isn’t always so very clever or complicated; but it can be a real godsend. Talking to someone who can see the wood for the trees and who is prepared to tell you if you are barking, to keep the forestry metaphor going, up the wrong tree.
The trick to most businesses is sell more to more people more often and for more money. Simples! Looking after the clients you have, getting them to buy more items, more often, may pay greater dividends than pinning down that waste of time prospect who has never bought and who, frankly, will only ever use you as a stick to beat their existing supplier with. A promise is only a promise until it is delivered.
We won’t make promises we can’t keep. We won’t pretend to know everything about your business. We do know about business and we will help you keep it if it is salvageable, sell it if needs must or call it a day if that is the only option. Our reputation is built on getting you out of a pickle – not earning a fee doing a piece of work that did not need to be done.
