Secure a compliant exit through a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA). We assume corporate liabilities and ensure business continuity through a private trade sale.
Companies Act 2006 Compliant Commercial Exit Strategy
Access the confidential briefing on solvent trade sales and distressed acquisition structures.
Liquidation is a complex legal process that prioritizes creditors. A trade sale offers a commercial alternative.
Upon appointment of an Insolvency Practitioner (IP), director powers cease. The IP controls the process and asset realization strategies.
Liquidations involve formal statutory reporting and public notices which can affect the commercial reputation of the stakeholders involved.
Liquidation places a permanent marker on the public insolvency record (The Gazette), which is visible to credit agencies, suppliers, and future business partners.

We operate a distressed asset acquisition business. We acquire the entire issued share capital of your limited company.
Upon completion, we become the legal owners of the entity. Changeing the registered office address and apppointing a new director and shareholder. Consequently, we assume control of the balance sheet, including unsecured creditor positions.
Standard completion timeline: 7 days. Emergency 48-hour completion available.
We review your balance sheet to ensure no Winding Up Petitions are active. We sign a Heads of Terms.
You legally transfer tangible assets to a new entity (NewCo) at fair market value, ensuring business continuity.
We verify the liabilities are unsecured and that the company remains in good standing with Companies House.
The Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) is signed. Companies House is Updated. You resign as director.
Control passes to us. We engage with the creditors as the new officers. You achieve a clean break.
Absolutely. The sale of shares is governed by the Companies Act 2006. It is a fundamental right of a shareholder to dispose of their property (shares). It is a recognized alternative to insolvency, provided the transaction is conducted at arm's length.
Corporate debt is a liability of the corporate entity, not the individual director (unless personal guarantees exist). When we acquire the company, the liability remains on the balance sheet. As the new owners, we become the point of contact for the lender.
Unlike liquidation (which triggers Section 216 restrictions on reusing names), a solvent sale allows for greater flexibility. Because the original company is not entering insolvent liquidation, you are generally free to operate a NewCo without the severe restrictions of "Phoenixing" laws.
