Who We Help
Professional Advisors
We all face challenges. It’s how you deal with them that matters.
The journey towards a broken business or entity is an exhausting path, one that can be charged with emotion and disappointment and we understand the bonds formed between the client and the business advisor can run deep with history.
When you come to Worrells, we’ll respect this relationship and take care of the people involved, in parallel with dispensing expert turnaround and insolvency advice.
Who we help
Professional Advisors
That's why we're here
An informed advisor is an indispensable advisor
As a dedicated professional, we appreciate you’re always looking out for your clients. Professional advisors connect with people who are confounded with financial problems every day. In those moments, advisors need credible and helpful answers to insolvency challenges, as and when they happen. We know that advisors are expected to promptly ‘zone in’ into the crux of a technical question or quandary, relevant to a client’s circumstances. We know advisors are expected to have ‘the big picture’ and traverse the series of questions that flow: as one question is answered, another is uncovered. We know the perturbed, emotionally charged energy that can sometimes flow between client and advisor as each party look to each other in search for answers and understanding.
Unpack situations
Together, we’ll unpack client situations with you, together with your client, or direct with your client.
Future-proof & add value
We’ll show how to future-proof and add value to your client relationships.

When we can help
Knowing when to make the call for help
Insolvency sets up large practical and emotional hurdles to those facing the challenge for the first time. This is true of the professional advisor guiding their client, it’s true for the director facing the loss of a company and it’s true for each individual contemplating the possible loss of much that they have worked long and hard for.
The insolvent client’s level of dependence on their professional advisor is often both misunderstood and understated. It is the client’s accountant or solicitor, or perhaps both working together, who commonly has the onerous task of discovering and demonstrating the true financial position. Frequently they must persuade the client that specialist insolvency help is necessary, and it is they who must find and nominate a suitable insolvency practitioner who they trust to work with.
6 client questions to uncover business distress
- 1. How is the business going generally? Are you happy with it?
- 2. Any problems with the landlord lately?
- 3. How are things with employees? Any unexpected turnover?
- 4. Are you making sure you are paying yourself?
- 5. When was the last holiday?
- 6. How are things at home?
Early intervention matters
The sooner you seek options, the more you’ll have.
- Initial advice is complimentary
- Totally confidential
- Without obligation
The Worrells Guide
Guides to Insolvency: Personal & Corporate
Our Guides to Insolvency are not intended to be read from cover to cover.
It’s here as a reference to get the answers when particular questions arise either to support the decision-making process, get the reassurance your client needs, or to empower different outcomes during the course of an administration.
Each topic is set out in a question and answer format and is explained in non technical terms, yet has sufficient detail to allow advisors to gain a broad understanding of insolvency concepts and practice.
When, ultimately, it’s determined the client needs to engage Worrells to assist them, we always find Worrells to be the right balance of doing their job independently and objectively, but still treating the client with respect, care, and consideration. We highly recommend Worrells and we are happy (despite the unhappy circumstances) to refer our clients to Worrells when they need the insolvency experts to navigate out of financial stress.
