Emergency Signals

When businesses face crisis, the warning signs are often clear—but acting on them quickly makes all the difference. Here are five critical situations where K2 Business Partners steps in to provide immediate turnaround support:

1. HMRC Arrears & Winding Up Petitions

The Signal: You've received a statutory demand or winding up petition from HMRC, or you're falling behind on tax payments with no clear path to catch up.

Our Response: We immediately engage with HMRC to negotiate Time to Pay arrangements or structure a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), while providing legal representation to buy you crucial breathing space.

2. Daily Cash Crisis

The Signal: You're managing cash day-to-day, struggling to pay suppliers, staff, or rent, with no clear sight of when cashflow will improve.

Our Response: We implement ruthless daily cash management controls, personally authorize all outgoings, and rapidly renegotiate terms with creditors to stabilize your position.

3. Bounce Back Loan Repayment Pressure

The Signal: Government loan repayments are due but your business hasn't recovered sufficiently to meet the obligations, threatening your survival.

Our Response: We negotiate with lenders for restructured repayment terms and develop realistic business plans that demonstrate viability while managing these legacy obligations.

4. Landlord Threats & Lease Pressures

The Signal: You're behind on rent, receiving forfeiture notices, or struggling with lease obligations across multiple sites that are dragging down profitability.

Our Response: We negotiate directly with landlords, structure CVAs to fairly manage lease liabilities, and create transparent deals that offer better outcomes than liquidation.

5. Bank Account Frozen

The Signal: Your bank has frozen accounts due to covenant breaches, winding up petitions, or nervousness about your financial position, leaving you unable to trade.

Our Response: We secure court validation orders to allow essential payments, negotiate with banks to restore banking facilities, and implement emergency cash management while resolving underlying issues.

If you're experiencing any of these emergency signals, don't wait—delay kills options and costs more. Contact us immediately for a no-charge initial conversation or call 020 7720 8000.
