It is based on over 25 years of hands-on experience in FCA-regulated commercial debt recovery, working with UK businesses across a wide range of sectors.

Important

This book is intended as practical guidance only. It does not provide legal advice, does not guarantee outcomes, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal advice where specialist input is needed.

Instead, it is designed to help businesses approach the County Court process with greater clarity, realism and confidence.

Also in development

A second practical guide is currently being developed, focused on helping businesses avoid bad debt, strengthen credit control, and spend less time chasing payments.

Further practical business guides will be added here over time
