Short answer

We cover Hereford from our Gloucester office, in person or by Zoom. The first conversation is free, confidential and informal.

How we help Hereford companies

Herefordshire businesses are typically small, long-established and closely tied to their owners. That means a company problem quickly feels like a personal one, which is why the first thing we separate out is what is actually yours and what belongs to the company.

Once that is clear, the decision gets easier. Some companies can be defended, particularly where HMRC is the main creditor and the trade is sound. Others should be closed in an orderly way while the directors still control the timing.

Where the trade can carry on, it often does, through a new company, with the old one liquidated properly and the assets bought at a proper value.

The local business mix

Around Hereford we see farming and food production, cider and drinks producers, engineering and defence-adjacent suppliers, construction and trades firms, and rural tourism businesses.

Land, buildings and financed plant make these cases more asset-heavy than average, and asset-heavy cases need more careful planning. What is owned, what is charged and what is leased all change the options.

How meetings work

Hereford is served from Gloucester, a short drive down the A40. Michael will come to you, or you can come to the Docks office, or start on Zoom.

No Hereford address appears on this page, because the nearest office is Gloucester. The local number 01452 899908 reaches us directly.

An anonymised example: a Herefordshire producer with financed plant and a charge over premises needed the asset position mapped before any decision could sensibly be made. Details are changed and no outcome is promised.

Hereford questions

Is there a Hereford office?

No. Herefordshire is covered from our Gloucester office, on 01452 899908.

Our premises are charged to the bank. Does that change things?

Yes. A secured creditor has rights the others do not, and that affects the order in which things are done. Bring the paperwork if you can.

We farm as a limited company. Does the same advice apply?

The company routes are the same. Farming brings extra issues around land, tenancies and financed machinery, and we will be clear where separate specialist advice is needed.

Can you meet us at our premises?

Yes, where that is the practical option, particularly for asset-heavy businesses.

Does calling you commit us to anything?

No. It is free, confidential and informal, and no process is triggered.
