About Director First
Specialist Insolvency Advice for UK Company Directors
We put the Director First — helping UK company directors navigate challenging times with expert insolvency guidance
Director First was created to provide clear, practical insolvency advice for UK company directors facing company debt, financial difficulty, creditor pressure or potential liquidation.
We focus exclusively on supporting directors of limited companies. Our advisory approach is built around protecting directors, clarifying legal responsibilities and identifying the most appropriate route forward, whether that involves business rescue, restructuring, a Company Voluntary Arrangement, administration or Creditors Voluntary Liquidation.
When a company is under financial stress, directors need accurate information quickly. Our role is to provide structured, confidential guidance that enables informed decisions at every stage of the insolvency process.
Built From Real Experience
Director First was founded after experiencing company insolvency firsthand. That experience shaped our commitment to deliver honest insolvency guidance without pressure, jargon or judgement.
The reason that I know how you are feeling is because I have been there, and I found everything so confusing. The more websites I visited and the more advice I received, the more confused I became. I was either spoken to like a naughty school boy or required to sign paperwork and pay fees immediately. I felt lost and overwhelmed and did not know where to turn.
We understand:
- The stress of mounting company debt
- HMRC arrears and creditor demands
- The fear of wrongful trading allegations
- The weight of director responsibilities during insolvency
Our advisory process combines lived experience with professional insolvency expertise to ensure directors receive both technical accuracy and practical understanding.
When Should You Seek Professional Advice?
If you believe that your company is entering insolvency, you must seek professional advice. Insolvency can be defined in various ways, but the easiest one is when you become unable to pay your debts on time.
When robbing Peter to pay Paul becomes the norm, it's time to pick up the phone.
