Why BCIA?
​
At BCIA, our advice is tailored to deliver practical solutions for directors. Unlike insolvency practitioners, whose primary duty is to company creditors, our focus is on ensuring directors are placed in the best possible position when facing financial challenges. We act in your best interests.
​
While we fully acknowledge the statutory duties owed to both creditors and shareholders, our approach is refreshing and unique — guiding directors through demanding situations with clarity, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to protecting their interests.
​
Our Commitment
​
We are dedicated to providing the highest standard of advice – protecting your business while helping you minimise both personal and professional stress. Our role is to simplify complex processes, making sure directors fully understand their options and responsibilities, including fiduciary duties during insolvency.
