For Accountants & Advisors
Your Clients Deserve Better Than Insolvency
When your clients face financial distress, referring them to an insolvency practitioner often means one outcome: liquidation. There is a better way. One that saves businesses, protects jobs, and keeps your client on your books.
Talk to Our TeamThe Problem With Insolvency Referrals
As an accountant, you're often the first to see the warning signs. A client's cash flow is deteriorating, HMRC arrears are building, and creditors are circling. The traditional advice is to refer them to an insolvency practitioner.
But here's the problem: insolvency practitioners earn their fees from the insolvency process itself. Liquidation, administration, CVAs. These are their revenue streams. They have little incentive to explore restructuring options that might keep the business alive and out of formal insolvency.
The result? Viable businesses get liquidated. Your client loses their company. Employees lose their jobs. And you lose a client.

A Better Outcome for Everyone
Introducing your clients to Haliburton means giving them access to court-backed restructuring, the most powerful tool available for compromising SME debt. Our results-based fee model means your client doesn't pay unless we deliver.
It's simply the right thing to do. Your client gets a real chance at survival instead of being funnelled into a process designed to wind them down. You retain a client. Their employees keep their jobs. Creditors get a better outcome than liquidation.
Your Role Doesn't End at the Referral
Unlike insolvency where your client is handed over to an IP and you lose the relationship, our restructuring process keeps you involved throughout. Your client will need ongoing accounting support during the restructuring, from financial reporting to cash flow management to compliance work. This means:
- Your client relationship is preserved and strengthened
- There are meaningful billings for your practice throughout the process
- You become the accountant who saved their business, not the one who sent them to liquidation
- When the restructuring completes, you have a healthier, more valuable client on your books for years to come
Your client stays.
Your billings continue.
Your reputation grows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this create a conflict with my existing advisory relationship?
No. We complement your role and don't compete with it. You remain your client's trusted accountant throughout. We handle the restructuring, you continue to handle their accounting and tax affairs.
What if the restructuring doesn't succeed?
There are multiple low-cost off-ramps built into our process. It starts with an informal chat, then a viability assessment, with clear exit points the whole way through. Our fees are entirely success-based, so if we don't deliver a result, your client doesn't pay.
How do I know if my client is suitable?
Generally, we're looking for SME businesses with £1m+ in debt, a viable underlying business, and a willingness to engage with the restructuring process. If in doubt, introduce them. We'll do the assessment for free.
Does it cost my practice anything?
Nothing at all. There is no cost to you or your practice. Our fees are built into the restructuring itself and are results-based, so your client only pays when we deliver.
