Partner with us and let us be your insolvency practitioner firm

Are you an Accountant, Solicitor or Independent Financial Advisor?

Are your clients experiencing financial difficulties? We can seamlessly work alongside you to offer them specialist advice which will bring about the best solution for all concerned.

Last year we advised more than 100 companies and partnerships of all sizes, across a variety of sectors. Many of these businesses were introduced to us by their accountants, lawyers, financial advisers, and banks.

 

SERVICE FOR ACCOUNTANTS

Our services include below:

  • Negotiating Time to Pay arrangements with HMRC;
  • Reverse Stress Testing cashflows for viability;
  • Assistance with shareholder disputes;
  • Assistance with unlocking cashflow to assist in growth;
  • Unlocking funding options.

 

We can assist you every step of the way, through every stage of the process. Our team of experts have unrivalled experience of providing confidential advice on a whole spectrum of financial advisory and planning services as well.

 

SERVICE FOR BANKS

We have a strong relationship with all major UK clearing banks. Across these, we provide a complete range of advice including; advisory services, intervention with distressed companies as well as credit verification and investigations services.

We provide a partner-led service generally free of conflict, as we do not have an audit practice within Middlebrooks.

We have a specialist team that focuses on creditor and debtor side assignments in the guise of independent business reviews, independent solvency reviews and debt advisory.

Hands-on turnaround assignments have also been a common area of focus. This has generally been in support of high street clearing banks and typically involve: stabilisation of cash and creditor position, profit improvement, cash generation, consideration of appropriate restructuring mechanism – be it debt restructuring or insolvency options.

 

SERVICE FOR SOLICITORS

Our teams of specialists have the expertise and commercial acumen to work alongside solicitors and law firms to ensure your clients receive the right advice at the right time. Through a working partnership we can help you nurture strong client relationships that will see positive results for everyone.

We have a long standing reputation for working alongside solicitors and law firms to deliver a service to their clients that meets their expectations in a professional manner that in turn, improves their client relationship.

  • We offer partner-led, specialist expertise throughout the UK, backed up by our international network
  • We are the UK’s leading specialist professional services firm, working alongside professional advisers, financial institutions and management teams

Let’s face it. Anyone going through tough times financially doesn’t need an insolvency practitioner shaking their head and wagging their finger in a “naughty naughty boy” manner. And that’s how much of the industry operates but thankfully NOT Middlebrooks. I know that the team at Middlebrooks, led by Claire Middlebrook, genuinely want to help people move on to the next chapter in their lives. They have a heart…and that’s exactly what you want from an IP when times are tough.

Would absolutely, without hesitation, highly recommend this company, . From the initial call to present day, they have been truly amazing to work with. While going through an extremely difficult period in my life, I needed to know that I was going to receive the right level of support to get me through this vital stage of my journey and Middlebrooks provided exactly that. Their vast knowledge and experience (which has been evident throughout the process) enabled me to proceed with confidence to the required conclusion. If you are reading this, you may be seeking the right advice and help too, look no further than this company. They won’t just talk you through the process, they will walk you through the process and they WILL get the job done, efficiently and professionally.
