Business insolvency advice in Slough
Review site costs before consolidating operations
For a Slough company operating from several units or workspaces, identify each location's actual cost and contribution. Include shared staff, utilities, service charges and equipment. A site with modest sales may support work delivered elsewhere, so its role needs to be understood.
If consolidation is proposed, calculate exit costs and the cash needed to move operations. The saving may arrive later than expected. Compare that funded transition with other restructuring or closure options, and include landlord and lender rights in the review.

We support company directors in Slough, Berkshire, including businesses in the SL1 postcode district. You can also contact us from Langley, Cippenham, Burnham, Datchet. Give us your full trading postcode and company details so the discussion starts with the right business and location.

Rapid turnover with tight working capital
A Slough distribution business may turn over substantial invoices while running close to its funding limit. Review the cash gap created by stock, deliveries and customer terms. Sustainable growth needs enough margin and finance to complete work without continually deferring tax or supplier payments.
The problem and possible next steps
Tax arrears: if VAT, PAYE or Corporation Tax is overdue, review whether the business could afford a payment proposal alongside new bills. HMRC Time to Pay requires HMRC’s agreement; it is not an automatic write-off.
Debts that trading cannot repay: compare business rescue with an orderly closure. A licensed insolvency practitioner must handle any formal appointment, and the appropriate route depends on the full financial position.
For issues involving haulage, see our sector guidance. We consider the business’s actual contracts, costs and liabilities rather than assuming every company in Slough faces the same problem.
Questions from Slough business owners
Can we transfer the lease to another group company?
The lease terms, landlord consent and the financial position of both companies need checking. A transfer should not be assumed available or used informally to move liabilities.
Do you help businesses in SL1 and around Slough?
Yes. Our enquiry service covers Slough and nearby areas including Langley, Cippenham, Burnham. SL1 is one example postcode district, rather than a boundary for advice. Tell us your full postcode and where the company is registered when you contact us.
What should I check before returning financed vehicles?
Read the finance agreements and obtain settlement figures. Returning a vehicle may leave a shortfall, and guarantees may also matter. Compare that cost with the effect on profitable routes before making commitments to the finance provider.
What should I have ready when discussing my Slough company?
Prepare a summary of creditors, cash available, unpaid customer invoices and the next essential payments. Include tax arrears, finance agreements and any personal guarantees. Mention legal notices and their deadlines at the start; you do not need a finished recovery plan to make an initial enquiry.
