◆ TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS
Insolvency and recovery advice for haulage & logistics
Transport operators run on narrow margins with high fixed costs. Vehicle finance, fuel, driver wages and compliance all demand cash on time, every week.
◆ UNDERSTANDING YOUR POSITION
Protecting the business behind your fleet
Haulage insolvencies involve particular issues: vehicles on finance or hire, operator licence requirements, goods in transit and customers who depend on continuity of service. Acting early protects more of these.
We help operators assess fleet utilisation, deal with finance companies and HMRC, and – where necessary – close in a way that handles vehicles, drivers and customers properly.
Bring vehicle finance schedules, fuel costs and customer payment terms. Show which contracts depend on each vehicle and identify any overdue finance or termination notices.

Questions, answered plainly.
What fleet information is useful for the first call?
Prepare a vehicle list showing ownership or finance arrangements, monthly payments, arrears and operational use. Include any notices received from finance providers.
Should we break down costs by customer or route?
Where available, show the fuel, wages and subcontractor costs associated with major contracts. Explain which rates can change and when customers actually pay.
What if a finance deadline could interrupt deliveries?
Flag the deadline and the vehicles affected when you enquire. Explain the deliveries or customer commitments that rely on them and provide the relevant agreement or notice.
