What are Restructuring & Business Recovery Services?

AAB’s restructuring and recovery services help businesses and directors manage financial distress, assess recovery options, and implement restructuring, refinancing, or formal insolvency solutions to maximise outcomes for stakeholders.

AAB’s restructuring and recovery services support businesses experiencing financial distress, company directors seeking guidance on their responsibilities, and creditors or stakeholders requiring advice on debt recovery or insolvency processes.

Audit and assurance services are required by a wide range of organisations to meet regulatory obligations, strengthen governance, and provide confidence to stakeholders. These services are particularly relevant for AIM-listed companies, regulated entities, and organisations operating in complex or high-risk environments. They are commonly required by international clients, UK entities, owner-managed businesses, not-for-profit organisations, and public sector bodies.

How does AAB deliver Restructuring & Business Recovery Services?

AAB delivers restructuring and recovery services through business restructuring advice, refinancing strategies, independent business reviews, creditor negotiations, insolvency procedures such as administration or liquidation, and debt recovery support.

When the business needs to close

Sometimes recovery isn’t possible, or closing the business is the right commercial decision. If so, we’ll help you understand your options and responsibilities.

For insolvent companies, our licensed insolvency practitioners can advise on formal insolvency procedures including Administration, Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL), Court Liquidation and Receivership.

For solvent companies, we can help you decide whether a Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) or Strike Off is the right way to close your company.

If an MVL is appropriate, our experienced liquidators can manage the process, including dealing with creditors and distributing remaining assets to shareholders.
