Director Health Check
Free Pre-Liquidation Director Health Check
AI-generated bank analysis to identify any possible claims a Liquidator could bring against you — before you commit to liquidation.
Forewarned is forearmed. Understand the liquidation landscape on your own terms, confidentially and without obligation.
What is the Director Health Check?
If you are thinking about liquidating your company, the very first question a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner (and, after appointment, a Liquidator) will ask is “what does the bank account show?”
Bank statements are the single most revealing source of information in any insolvency. A Liquidator has a statutory duty to investigate the conduct of directors and recover money for creditors. They will read the statements after they are appointed — by which point it is too late to address anything that turns up.
Our Director Health Check flips that timeline. We run the same forensic AI analysis a Liquidator would commission, share the findings with you, and help you understand what (if anything) a Liquidator is likely to pursue — while you still have time to take advice and act.

- AI forensic review of up to 24 months of bank statements
- Director's Loan Account (DLA) reconstruction
- Dividend & salary trace
- Preference & antecedent transaction screen
- Confidential one-to-one review call with a Licensed IP

What the AI Bank Analysis looks for
These are the issues a Liquidator is statutorily required to investigate. Knowing the answers in advance puts you in control.
Director's Loan Account
Every transfer between the company and the director's personal account is classified and reconciled. An overdrawn DLA at the date of liquidation is a debt owed back to the company — we tell you the number before the Liquidator does.
Unlawful Dividends
Dividends paid when the company had no distributable reserves can be clawed back personally. We flag the pattern across the period and quantify the exposure.
Preferences (s.239)
Payments to connected creditors (family, related companies, personally-guaranteed lenders) in the run-up to insolvency are vulnerable. We surface them so you can take advice early.
Transactions at Undervalue (s.238)
Asset transfers below market value, unexplained outflows and gifts within the statutory look-back periods are all identified and categorised.
Cash & Lifestyle Withdrawals
Sustained cash withdrawals, personal spending through the company card and round-sum transfers are summarised — the classic items a Liquidator's report focuses on.
HMRC & Crown Debt Timing
Patterns of paying other creditors while HMRC liabilities accrue can support a wrongful trading argument. We map the timeline so you see what a Liquidator would see.

Common questions
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no charge for the bank analysis or the review call with a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner. We offer it because most directors who go through it choose to instruct us if they decide to liquidate — but there is no obligation either way.
Is it confidential?
Completely. Until you formally instruct an Insolvency Practitioner you are simply a director taking advice. Nothing is reported anywhere. The written summary is yours.
Do I have to liquidate after?
No. Some directors find issues that need addressing first. Others find their position is cleaner than they feared. Either way you leave with a clear picture.
What if the analysis finds problems?
That is precisely the point. Identifying issues now — while options are open — is dramatically better than discovering them in a Liquidator's report after appointment. We will explain the options to mitigate or address each item.
