Why early advice changes the outcome
Time is the single most valuable asset in a difficult situation. Directors who take advice early keep more options open — and more control over how things end.
Consult Hamill is a discreet advisory firm for business owners and directors facing complex and demanding circumstances — from restructuring and creditor negotiations to pre‑insolvency strategy and the confidential sale of a business. We help you protect what you have built, and realise its full value.
Consult Hamill offers a private and bespoke advisory service built around a single principle: understand the whole picture before acting. Our team draws on extensive, real‑world experience across business, finance and negotiation.
That depth of knowledge allows us to handle the most complex circumstances with composure — however obscure or difficult they may first appear — and to guide clients toward practical, defensible outcomes.
More about our approachWe work quietly alongside directors and owners to safeguard value, reduce exposure and restore direction. Every engagement is handled with rigour, judgement and complete confidentiality.
From early strategic planning to sensitive negotiations and recovery, we bring focus and experience to the areas that most affect your future.
Strategic planning, organisational design and debt restructuring that stabilise the business and preserve long‑term value.
Creditor and lender negotiations, lease terms, personal guarantees and dispute resolution handled with a steady, informed hand.
HMRC matters, pre‑insolvency advice, asset sales, valuations and insurance handling to secure your position.
We have sat on the difficult side of the table many times. That perspective — seeing a situation as your creditors, lenders or HMRC will see it — is often the difference between a good outcome and a costly one.
Practical thinking from our advisory work — written for owners and directors weighing difficult decisions.
Time is the single most valuable asset in a difficult situation. Directors who take advice early keep more options open — and more control over how things end.
Creditors, lenders, HMRC and buyers each act on their own pressures and incentives. Understanding their position first is what turns a stand‑off into a settlement.
Value in a sale is largely won or lost before a buyer ever appears. Sensible preparation, a realistic valuation and tight confidentiality protect what you have built.
Speak with us in complete confidence. A short, private conversation is often the first step to regaining control.
