About Anderson Brookes Insolvency Practitioners

---

Anderson Brookes is a trusted and experienced firm of licensed insolvency practitioners, supporting company directors across England and Wales. We specialise in business insolvency solutions, with a strong focus on Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) - helping directors take control when a company can no longer trade due to debt, cash flow pressure, or HMRC arrears.

Our team provides clear, regulated advice tailored to each client’s situation, ensuring legal obligations are met while minimising stress and uncertainty. From limited company liquidations and business rescue to personal debt advice, we handle every step professionally and with care. We’re particularly well known for helping directors close companies cleanly and explore opportunities to start again debt-free, including guidance on redundancy claims for eligible directors.

Anderson Brookes works with small businesses, sole traders, and company directors across a wide range of industries, offering fast, friendly, and confidential support. Whether you're facing pressure from creditors, HMRC, or bailiffs - or simply need to understand your options - we're here to help.

At Anderson Brookes, we specialise in helping directors close down limited companies through formal, regulated liquidation procedures. Our expert team handles every aspect of the Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) process, offering a fast, stress-free way to deal with company debt, creditor pressure, and insolvency.

We support directors who are facing:
- Cash flow problems or mounting liabilities.
- HMRC enforcement for unpaid VAT, PAYE or Corporation Tax.
- Bailiff action or County Court Judgments CCJs.
- Unmanageable pressure from suppliers or lenders.
- Our liquidation service includes
- A full financial review and free initial consultation.
- Preparation of all legal paperwork, including the Statement of Affairs.
- Notification and communication with creditors.
- Appointment of a licensed insolvency practitioner as Liquidator.
- Realisation of company assets and final closure of the company.
- Advice on directors redundancy claims where applicable.

With most CVLs completed in under 10 days, and no need to attend court or creditor meetings, we make liquidation straightforward and manageable. We also advise on Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) for solvent companies, and provide guidance where Compulsory Liquidation is being threatened.

Whether you’re looking to close your company voluntarily or need urgent advice on next steps, our team is here to help - confidentially, professionally, and without delay.

At Anderson Brookes, we help business owners and company directors deal with HMRC debts including VAT, PAYE, Corporation Tax, and Self-Assessment arrears. If you're struggling to keep up with payments, facing enforcement action, or receiving threatening letters from HMRC, we can step in quickly to assess your position and take control of the situation.

Our team regularly negotiates Time to Pay Arrangements with HMRC, allowing clients to spread repayments over a manageable period - typically up to 12 months. We prepare professional proposals HMRC are more likely to accept, backed by our experience as licensed insolvency practitioners.

Where a Time to Pay deal isn’t suitable, we’ll explain alternative solutions including Company Voluntary Arrangements (CVA) or Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL). In many cases, involving us early can help avoid court action, protect your business, and reduce personal stress.
