What is insolvency?

Insolvency professionals help companies and individuals who are struggling financially. They work to rescue businesses where possible or manage the process of closing down fairly and legally. It’s a role that combines finance, law, and strategy.

Why choose insolvency?

  • Make a real impact: You’ll help businesses survive or manage financial difficulties responsibly.
  • Variety of work: Every case is different, from small businesses to large corporations.
  • Career progression: Clear routes to senior roles and opportunities to specialise.
  • Professional development: Many roles include studying for qualifications like the ACA or insolvency-specific certifications.
