Owe the HMRC? – help is at hand

The HMRC are chasing companies hard for the revenue that they owe. More and more companies are struggling under the weight of business debt because of a toxic combination of a stagnant economy and banks that are reluctant to lend. So it’s no surprise that more and more businesses are having to try to fend off winding up petitions.

This is an increasingly popular way for organisations including the HMRC to recover money owed. It’s also very aggressive and has serious implications for any business. As soon as the petition is in motion, bank accounts are frozen, crippling the way any company can operate. When business debt has gotten this serious and creditors are chasing hard, it’s important to reach out for any help that is available. It’s not time to bury heads in the sand.
