It is so important for people to understand that bankruptcy is not the destination - it's actually the pathway to regaining control. Before the event you feel helpless, the anxiety of the unknown takes hold of you. But once you commit to bankruptcy you are back in control.

We found ourselves in a very tough situation in our business, and because of unforeseen circumstances, our business went into liquidation in August 2019. We appointed Louisa as our Liquidator, and we cannot imagine doing this most difficult journey without her and her team. Louisa showed us grace and compassion, was never judgemental, and was always there to hear us and answer our questions. From day 1 Louisa walked us through step by step, and encouraged us and helped to keep us positive throughout this period. We would not hesitate at all in recommending Louisa and her team, and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts.
