Recent developments involving Atherton Corporate (UK) Ltd and Atherton Corporate Rescue Limited highlight the risks associated with unqualified advice in times of financial distress. These companies, which falsely claimed to offer a legal alternative to insolvency practitioners, misled directors facing company debts. They encouraged the disposal of assets and assured directors they could escape responsibility for company liabilities.
The closure of Atherton companies and their associated firms underscores the critical need for businesses to seek guidance from licensed insolvency practitioners. Unlike unregulated entities, Insolvency Practitioners (IPs) are qualified professionals who adhere to stringent ethical and legal standards set by governing bodies. They provide expert advice tailored to each company’s unique situation, ensuring compliance with insolvency laws and protecting the interests of all stakeholders.
Mark George, Chief Investigator at the Insolvency Service, highlighted the deliberate attempts by Atherton companies to circumvent established insolvency procedures. Their misleading practices not only jeopardised the financial integrity of distressed businesses but also undermined the broader insolvency regime.
