The challenge
A Stevenage-based care home labour supplier contacted RLBR facing an unpaid PAYE liability of £575,000 with escalating pressure from HM Revenue & Customs. At the same time, delayed payments from NHS England created severe cash flow disruption, placing the director in a critical financial and legal position.
The business was viable — but the timing of liabilities versus income had created a perfect storm.
Our Strategy
The outcome
Immediate enforcement escalation was controlled, giving the company breathing space. With payment flows addressed and pressure reduced, the director was able to move from crisis mode into a managed recovery position rather than facing sudden enforcement or collapse.
