Business recovery and insolvency

It is a hard fact of life that not all businesses are successful.

Whatever the challenges, Ritson Smith's highly experienced specialist Business Recovery team, headed up by partner Ewen Alexander, is trained to seek out innovative and practical solutions for under-performing businesses.

A member of R3, the Association of Business Recovery Professionals and current Convenor of the ICAS Insolvency Permit Committee, Ewen is one of the most well-respected professionals in his field.

Ritson Smith fully supports the "rescue culture" approach, a concept which is widely endorsed by all responsible lenders and business recovery professionals. The essence of this approach is the early identification of problems, at a stage when they can be solved quietly and with less trauma.

Ewen has been instrumental in establishing a highly competent Business Recoveryand Insolvency team at Ritson Smith, who work closely with shareholders, directors, creditors, lenders and professional advisers to take the appropriate action with ailing businesses.

When you take a financial difficulty to Ritson Smith, you are assured of a prompt response with full ongoing partner involvement.
