Effective and efficient debt recovery is vital to the continuation of any business, even more so in these unprecedented times. With experts warning that that we may see a financial crisis like no other, businesses need to ensure that they have sufficient cash flow to weather the storm.
Whilst the government has issued an interim ban on repossessions of residential properties, forfeiture of commercial leases, the issuing of statutory demands and winding up petitions, and whilst many banks are offering customers payment holidays, there is nothing stopping a business collecting its debts. The debt recovery process undertaken at mfg Solicitors LLP offers a comprehensive, swift and cost effective service even in these challenges times.
mfg Solicitors LLP offers a dedicated service focussing exclusively on recovering the debt. Our system is designed to assist you and your business to maintain a healthy cash flow and avoid any financial difficulties which may arise as a result of your debtor’s non-payment.
