The Crisis

A successful restaurant chain with 3 locations and 12 employees faced closure due to £95,000 in unpaid VAT and PAYE. HMRC had issued final demands and threatened enforcement action within 7 days.

  • • Staff wages in jeopardy

  • • £50k BBL repayment demanded
  • • Personal guarantees at risk
