The Directors Helpline Avis 

A truly brilliant service with helpful, honest advice and a depth of knowledge and understanding that really helped us understand where our business is and what we can do moving forward.
Put us at ease but also gave us direct assessments of where we are.

David has been exceptional. I could'nt recommend this service more.

Claire has been fantastic from start to finish. So helpful and knowledgeable. Speaking to her on a number of stressful and sensitive subjects was so easy, and i found her understanding and patience an absolute god send. I would recommend The Directors Helpline and especially Claire 110%. I cannot thank Claire enough.

I cannot thank the Directors’ Helpline enough, especially Ollie and Claire, for the outstanding support they gave me during one of the most difficult times of my life.

Following a tragic loss and serious health complications, I found myself facing unexpected financial difficulties and felt completely overwhelmed. From the very first conversation, Ollie and Claire treated me with genuine kindness, compassion and understanding. They took the time to listen without judgement, explained everything clearly and reassured me throughout the process.

Their professionalism, knowledge and empathy made a huge difference when I needed it most. Nothing ever felt too much trouble, and they always made me feel supported rather than just another case. Their patience and encouragement gave me the confidence to move forward during an incredibly challenging time.

I am truly grateful to Ollie, Claire and the whole team at the Directors’ Helpline. They are a fantastic organisation, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs expert advice delivered with genuine care, respect and compassion. Thank you for everything you have done for me.

I had an excellent experience working with Claire Mitten at The Directors Helpline. Claire was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive.

Spoke to Oliver lovely chap. I explained my concerns and Oliver explained what the process was I was dealing with and gave me advice on how to proceed. And also gave me the option of calling back if I had any worrying issues. Couldn’t fault in anyway.

I cannot thank Directors Help enough for guiding me through my company liquidation process.
As the owner of a successful independent business, finding myself in this position was incredibly difficult and emotional. I had never been through anything like it before, and I was scared, overwhelmed, and unsure of what to expect.
From the very beginning, the team was professional, compassionate, and reassuring. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and supported me every step of the way.
What stood out most was their understanding and patience. They helped calm me down during one of the most challenging periods of my business life and gave me confidence that everything was being handled properly.
I would highly recommend Directors Help to anyone facing insolvency or liquidation. Their guidance, expertise, and genuine care made a world of difference.
Thank you for helping me navigate such a difficult time.

When you think you have nowhere to turn and no-one can help you.... these are THE guys for you if you find yourself in liquidation wasteland! They have really helped me and put my mind at rest with calming support and advice. Thank you!

Claire was very helpful listening to what the business issues are and giving options and direction. Very helpful. Thank you so much :) Ameena

For the past 12 months, I had been struggling with VAT and PAYE obligations while running both a dog walking business and a dog grocery business. With seven staff members, rising fuel costs, increasing energy bills, minimum wage rises, National Insurance contributions, pensions, VAT, and business rates, the financial pressure became overwhelming.

I was losing sleep, constantly stressed and convinced I had somehow failed as a business owner. Despite carefully factoring all costs into my pricing, the business began to struggle once we crossed the VAT threshold. The creditor I owed money to was HMRC, but the fines, interest, and payment arrangements quickly became increasingly difficult to manage. Each quarter seemed to bring more pressure and higher amounts that needed setting aside.

After one particularly sleepless night, I came across Directors Helpline and decided to reach out. Will Davies contacted me promptly, and after our very first conversation, I felt a huge weight lift from my shoulders. For the first time in months, someone helped me see the situation clearly. My businesses were successful, we had waiting lists, I was doing everything possible, and many of the challenges were simply the reality of operating a small business in the current economic climate.

Will was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Everything was handled thoroughly, with meetings arranged involving both myself and my accountant to fully understand our position and discuss the best options available. The advice and guidance provided gave me clarity, confidence, and a realistic path forward.

I would highly recommend Will Davies to any business owner who is feeling overwhelmed, losing sleep, struggling with HMRC debt, or sacrificing their own income to keep their business afloat. There are options available that many of us simply don't know about, and speaking to someone with Will's expertise can make all the difference.

Thank you, Will, for your support and for helping me regain perspective during one of the most challenging periods of my business journey.

Professional and friendly service

Excellent support from Directors Helpline. Claire explained the implications of the personal guarantee clearly and professionally, helping me understand my position before signing any agreement. Very knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful. Highly recommended.

Very helpful

Sound advice and never took a penny from me no pressure
Thank you so much I can sleep at night knowing where I stand

Claire was great! Really understanding. It was good to have someone to talk who is on the Directors side and could offer advice/support. Strongly recommend

I found these guys through Instagram believe it or not. And obviously you think it's a scam or a bit dodgy. But talking to Claire today was a breath of fresh air. Just getting a bit of clarity and up front quotes of what it's going to cost me with HMRC and Companies House.

When you have worked hard for 20 years building a business, it can be incredibly difficult when external factors force you into a challenging and stressful situation.

I had previously dealt with suppliers and advisers who charged a considerable amount of money but, in reality, offered very little meaningful help. The experience with The Directors Helpline has been completely different.

David has been absolutely amazing. Not only has he provided clear, practical and knowledgeable advice, but the level of support and understanding has been exceptional. When you are running a business on your own, it can feel very lonely and, at times, very dark. Having someone there who genuinely understands, listens, reassures you, and helps guide you through the process makes a huge difference.

David responds to questions quickly, explains things clearly, and makes you feel like you are not dealing with everything alone. That support has been invaluable.

I honestly cannot recommend The Directors Helpline highly enough. Even if you are only just starting to struggle, don’t wait until things get worse. Speak to them. They are supportive, knowledgeable and genuinely care.

A huge thank you to David and the team for all the help, advice and support.

The Directors Helpline supported and very active of the process from the beginning till end
