What are the potential issues that clients face?

• The business needs money but cannot attract investment due to its debts or highly leveraged balance sheet.
• The businesses distressed and running out of money. It cannot pay its suppliers within its commercial terms and is in danger of general credit default.
• Debtors have defaulted and as a result your businesses cash flow is impacted.
• You are a director of the business with debt issues and are concerned for your own position.
• Due to Covid 19 restrictions the business is heavily impacted and its turnover compressed. In addition, landlords may be refusing to reduce rent and a default as a result is imminent.
• Lenders have refused to extend credit facilities including overdrafts possibly for no other reason than fear over how Covid 19 might impact the business
