We cover Crawley & Gatwick from our Horsham office, in person or by Zoom. The first conversation is free, confidential and informal.
How we help Crawley and Gatwick companies
The Gatwick economy runs on contracts and schedules. Aviation services, logistics, ground handling, facilities, engineering and the firms that supply them all depend on a small number of large customers paying on time. When one of those contracts changes, cash flow moves quickly, and so does creditor pressure.
We deal with the immediate threat first. That might be an HMRC time-to-pay arrangement, a reply to a statutory demand, or handling a creditor that has started action. Once the noise stops it becomes possible to decide properly what to do with the company.
If the company cannot continue, closing it through a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation keeps the timing in your hands rather than a creditor's. Where the trade itself is sound, it can often carry on through a new company while the old one is closed properly.
The local business mix
Around Crawley, Manor Royal and the airport perimeter we see engineering and maintenance firms, freight and courier companies, recruitment and staffing businesses, contract cleaners, and construction firms working across the M23 corridor.
Seasonality is a recurring theme here. A quiet quarter that would be survivable elsewhere can leave an airport-facing business with a VAT bill it cannot meet. Those are exactly the cases where acting a month earlier changes the options available.
How meetings work
Because Crawley and Gatwick are covered from Horsham, a short drive up the A264 gets you to the office, or Michael will meet you locally if that is easier. Many directors start with a Zoom call at the end of the working day.
We do not show a Crawley street address, because we do not have one. What you get instead is a named adviser on a local number, and a licensed insolvency practitioner behind him for anything formal.

Crawley & Gatwick questions
Do you have an office in Crawley?
No. We cover Crawley and Gatwick from our Horsham office, a short drive away, and we will meet you locally or on Zoom.
Which number should I call from Crawley?
01403 839766 reaches us directly. The main number 0345 017 9773 works just as well.
We supply an airport operator and they have delayed payment. Is that insolvency?
Not necessarily. A cash-flow squeeze is not the same as an unviable business. The question is whether the company can meet its debts as they fall due, and that is what the first conversation looks at.
Can we keep trading while you help?
Often yes, and where the company is insolvent we will tell you plainly what your duties are while you do.
Do you deal with HMRC directly?
Yes. Where a time-to-pay arrangement is the right answer, we handle that negotiation with you.
