For many business owners, directors, and sole traders, asking for help can feel like admitting failure. But when your company is under pressure, from cash flow issues to creditor demands, that first step toward support could be the most important one you take.
At Leading Business Services, we understand that picking up the phone or sending that first email can feel daunting. Many of our clients tell us they put it off for weeks, sometimes months, because they weren’t sure what to expect, or feared being judged.
So let’s take the mystery out of it.
What Happens When You Get in Touch?
Whether you call us directly or are referred by a professional adviser (such as your accountant or solicitor), here’s what that first interaction looks like:
1. You’ll Speak to a Real Person Who’s Here to Listen
There’s no hard sell, no obligation, and absolutely no judgement. Just a calm, supportive conversation about what’s going on in your business. You don’t need to have all the answers, that’s what we’re here for.
2. We’ll Ask a Few Simple Questions
To understand your situation, we’ll ask about your company, what challenges you’re facing, and what concerns are keeping you up at night.
3. You’ll Get Clear, Straightforward Advice
We’ll talk through your options in plain English. That might include restructuring, payment plans, liquidation, or informal support strategies, but we’ll only suggest what’s appropriate for your unique situation.
You’re Not Alone And You’re Not the First
We speak to business owners every day who are worried about losing everything, who feel they’ve let people down, or who simply don’t know what to do next. The truth is, it’s far more common than you might think, and asking for help isn’t weakness. It’s leadership.
We’re Here When You’re Ready
At Leading, an experienced insolvency and business restructuring firm, we believe in having early, honest conversations — because the sooner we talk, the more options we can explore together.
If your business is experiencing financial stress, or you’re supporting a client who is, we’re here to help. We offer confidential, no-obligation guidance tailored to each situation.
We’re happy to speak directly with business owners, or work in partnership with accountants, HR professionals, or other advisers.
Let’s take the first step together — while there are still options on the table.
You can contact our friendly and experienced team on 01603 552028 or email us at [email protected].
