Our Core Areas of Expertise

Personal Guarantees: We handle cases involving personal guarantees on bank facilities and loans, secondary lenders/fintech loans, credit cards, leases, asset finance, franchises, and invoice discounting facilities, among others.

Overdrawn Directors’ Loan Accounts: These often arise from accounting errors, inappropriate access to company funds, illegal dividends, or overreliance on company assets. Our team can guide you through the complexities of addressing and resolving these issues.

Directors’ Conduct: We assist with matters related to liquidators, their reports, and the sale of claims to litigation funds for director pursual. Misfeasance, where inappropriate conduct by directors leads to company failure, is a growing concern, and our experience in this area is invaluable.

Unincorporated Businesses: We cover issues affecting sole traders, partnerships, and LLPs, particularly around debt exposure from trading activities and transitioning from unincorporated to incorporated status.

This Is Only A Taster

These are just some of the areas where we provide support. At Bell & Company, we understand that when it comes to director exposure and business failure, it’s not just about knowing the rules – it’s about having the experience and insight to navigate them effectively.
