Debt Negotiation & Restructuring

When creditors demand immediate payment, and mounting debts start to suffocate your business, it’s crucial to take strategic action fast. Femi Ogunshakin provides practical, proactive solutions that effectively manage your debts, ease creditor pressure, and restore your cash flow, allowing you to regain financial stability and peace of mind.

Negotiating Time-to-Pay Arrangements with HMRC

Unpaid taxes can escalate into severe financial trouble. Fortunately, HMRC often accepts structured payment plans—known as Time-to-Pay arrangements—giving you manageable instalments to clear outstanding debts gradually. Femi’s in-depth knowledge and experience with HMRC procedures enable him to:
  • Quickly assess your financial situation and tax obligations.
  • Construct realistic and compelling repayment proposals tailored to your current financial capabilities.
  • Engage effectively with HMRC officers to negotiate affordable repayment schedules.
  • Formalise and document the arrangement, protecting you against further enforcement actions, penalties, or additional charges.

Why a Time-to-Pay Arrangement Matters

A carefully negotiated Time-to-Pay arrangement provides immediate financial breathing room, alleviates pressure on your cash flow, and significantly reduces the risk of further penalties, litigation, or winding-up petitions. By addressing tax arrears proactively, you preserve essential resources needed to stabilise and rebuild your business.

Creditor Negotiations to Reduce Immediate Debt Pressure

When facing multiple overdue debts, your relationships with creditors, suppliers, lenders, and landlords can rapidly deteriorate, creating serious operational challenges. Femi offers expert negotiation support to proactively manage creditor demands, securing improved terms and reducing immediate financial strain. His solutions include:
  • Direct communication with your creditors to clearly outline your financial situation and intention to repay.
  • Negotiating extended repayment terms, reduced interest rates, or partial write-offs to make debts more affordable.
  • Drafting structured repayment agreements and clearly documenting negotiated outcomes.
  • Preventing legal action from creditors by presenting realistic and credible repayment plans.

  • Analysing your debts, obligations, and financial commitments to identify the most efficient restructuring pathways.
  • Developing practical refinancing solutions, including debt consolidation, asset-based refinancing, or alternative funding options.
  • Advising on structured exits or reorganisations, such as formal insolvency procedures, administration, or voluntary arrangements where appropriate.
