Short answer

We advise Horsham directors from our own office at The Courtyard, Worthing Road, Horsham RH12 1SL. The first conversation is free, confidential and informal, and no insolvency process is triggered by it.

How we help Horsham businesses

Horsham directors tend to come to us at one of two moments: when HMRC arrears have stopped being manageable, or when a letter arrives that changes the tone completely, a statutory demand or a petition. Both are easier to deal with in the same week they land than a month later.

The first conversation is free, confidential and informal. Michael O'Connor takes it himself. He will ask what the company owes, who is pushing hardest, and what you would like to happen to the business if it were possible. Nothing formal starts because of that conversation.

From there the route is usually one of four: defend the company and remove the immediate threat, close it safely through a trouble-free Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation while you keep control of the timing, continue the trade through a new company while the old one is closed properly, or concentrate first on your own position as a director.

The local business mix

The businesses we see around Horsham are mostly owner-managed: building and trades firms working across West Sussex, professional and creative practices, small manufacturers on the industrial estates, hospitality in the town centre, and service companies whose clients are in London but whose costs are here.

That mix matters, because the pressure points differ. A contractor's problem is often retentions and one bad job. A retailer's is rent and footfall. A consultancy's is a single client leaving. The right option depends on which of those you are dealing with.

How meetings work

Meetings at Horsham are private and unhurried. Bring your latest management figures if you have them, a list of creditors even if it is rough, and any letters that have arrived. If you have none of that, come anyway.

You will not be handed to a call centre or passed between advisers. Michael stays with your case from the first call to the finish, with Mark Bassford FCA, our licensed insolvency practitioner, handling any formal appointment, and Tony Sampson advising on the legal side.

An anonymised example: a West Sussex trades company came in with HMRC arrears and a supplier threatening action. The immediate threat was dealt with first, then the directors chose to continue the trade through a new company while the old one was closed properly. Details are changed and no outcome is promised; every case is different.
