If you have arrears or debt with multiple companies, you may want to reach out to a debt management charity to arrange a plan. Whilst you work through a plan for your finances with these companies, they can help you arrange some breathing space with us for up to 60 days. If you want us to, we can work with these companies.
When you call, we will ask some questions to understand your businesses income and expenditure. From this we can help build a personalised plan for your business, based on your current affordability and how you expect this to change in the coming months.
