Short answer

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

How we help Swindon companies

Swindon's economy is built on distribution, engineering and business services, which means long supply chains and large customers. When a big customer slows down its payments, a perfectly good company can find itself unable to pay HMRC on time.

That is the most common call we take from Swindon, and it is rarely as bad as it feels on the day. The useful question is not whether things look difficult but whether the company can meet its debts as they fall due, and what can be negotiated if it cannot.

Where there is a real threat, we deal with it first. After that, the choice between defending the company, closing it safely, or continuing the trade through a new company becomes a much calmer decision.

The local business mix

In and around Swindon we see logistics and warehousing operators, automotive and precision engineering suppliers, IT and business-process firms, and construction companies working across the M4 corridor.

Two pressures come up repeatedly: thin margins on volume contracts, and payment terms set by customers far larger than the supplier. Both squeeze cash without saying anything about whether the underlying business works.

How meetings work

Swindon is covered from our Gloucester office, about an hour away. Michael will meet you in Swindon where that is useful, and many directors here start on Zoom because it is quicker to arrange.

We do not publish a Swindon street address, because we are not asking you to trust an address. You get a named adviser and a licensed insolvency practitioner on the team behind him.

An anonymised example: a Swindon distribution company on 90-day customer terms fell behind on PAYE. Agreeing a realistic payment schedule came before any decision about the company's future. Details are changed and no outcome is promised.

Swindon questions

Is there an Insolvency Solutions office in Swindon?

Today, Swindon is served from our Gloucester office on 0345 017 9773.

Our biggest customer pays in 90 days. Can HMRC take that into account?

HMRC will consider a time-to-pay arrangement where the company can show the payments are realistic, and evidence about payment terms is part of that case.

Do you cover north Wiltshire as well?

Yes, including Chippenham, Calne, Marlborough and the surrounding area.

Can we meet in person in Swindon?

Yes. Say so when you call and we will arrange it.

Will talking to you start a liquidation?

No. Nothing starts unless you instruct it.
