I like to help people. My job as an insolvency practitioner allows me to do this in two ways.

1. Helping directors whose business is facing financial difficulty.

I want to lift the weight that it is often sitting heavily on directors’ shoulders as they grapple with the problems at hand. The outcomes that can be achieved differ greatly, but my job is to ensure that we find the best outcome in the circumstances and provide support to the directors to make the process as painless as possible (which is not to say it is always easy).

2. Releasing value from a company in a tax efficient manner.

Whether it is due to retirement, the sale of the business or something else, using a solvent liquidation to close a company provides an opportunity for director/shareholders to utilise the lower tax rates & related reliefs available through a capital distribution rather than income via salary or dividends.

We can quickly and cost effectively distribute money to shareholders to generate those tax savings.


At Leonard Curtis we relish the opportunity to use our wide range of skills, resources and experience to assess and review businesses with financial problems and find effective solutions.

We often need to react quickly and decisively but do so with thoughtfulness and compassion.
