A guide, not advice. This explains how things generally work. A licensed insolvency practitioner will tell you what applies to your company or to you.
Licensed insolvency practitioners in Manchester
InsolvencySupport.co.uk is the home of Xeinadin Corporate Recovery's Manchester insolvency team - four ICAEW-licensed insolvency practitioners based at 100 Barbirolli Square, handling liquidations, administrations, and solvent closures for companies across Greater Manchester.
On this page you'll find who we are, what we handle, how our intake works, and why speaking directly to a licensed practitioner - rather than a call centre or a lead broker - matters when your company is in difficulty.
If you need to speak to someone today, call 0333 023 5090 - office hours are 9.00am to 6.00pm, and enquiries come straight through to our practitioners.
Our licensed practitioners
Every case at InsolvencySupport.co.uk is handled by a licensed insolvency practitioner regulated by the ICAEW - and unusually for this industry, they're who you speak to from the first call.
Alan Fallows - Licensed Insolvency Practitioner, Partner and Head of Xeinadin Corporate Recovery. Specialises in all areas of corporate and personal insolvency.
Alessandro Sidoli - Licensed Insolvency Practitioner and Area Managing Partner. Specialises in all areas of corporate and personal insolvency.
Jessica Barker - Licensed Insolvency Practitioner. Specialises in all areas of corporate insolvency.
Allan Cadman - Licensed Insolvency Practitioner and Director. Specialises in all areas of corporate and personal insolvency.
All four are based in our Manchester office, and every practitioner's licence can be verified on the Insolvency Service's public register - we'd encourage you to check ours, and anyone else's you're considering.
What we handle
Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation - the orderly closure of insolvent companies, from retail and hospitality to construction and professional services.
Members' Voluntary Liquidation - tax-efficient solvent closures for retiring directors, contractors, and companies that have served their purpose.
Company administration - rescue and going-concern sales for viable Manchester businesses under creditor pressure.
Urgent creditor situations - winding up petitions, frozen accounts, enforcement - where same-day advice matters.
And the conversations before any of that: HMRC arrears, cash flow strain, and honest assessments of your options - a meaningful share of directors who call us don't need a formal process at all.
Why speak to a Manchester practitioner directly?
The insolvency market is crowded with national advertisers and lead-generation brokers - websites that gather your details and sell them to whichever firm pays, with a salesperson between you and any licensed practitioner.
Our model is the opposite, and deliberately so.
You speak to the practitioner who would take your appointment - from the first call, at a Manchester office you can visit, with a licence number you can check.
Local matters practically too: we know the region's sectors, its landlords and funders, the local courts, and the realities of trading in Greater Manchester - context that shapes advice in ways a remote call centre can't.
Where we work
We advise directors across Greater Manchester and the North West - Manchester city centre, Salford, Stockport, Trafford and Altrincham, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, and Wigan - with meetings at our Barbirolli Square office, at your premises, or by video as suits.

Phone: 0333 023 5090 (9.00am-6.00pm, Monday to Friday)
What happens when you call
A confidential conversation with a licensed practitioner about your company's position - assets, creditors, employees, and pressure points.
An honest assessment of the options, from Time to Pay and restructuring through to liquidation - including "you don't need us" where that's the truth.
If a formal process is right, a clear written quote - see our guides to liquidation costs and how the process runs - and a named practitioner handling your case from start to finish.
No obligation, no sales team, no passing your details on.
