Supported to the end

Why not just instruct a solicitor?
You can — and for complex, high-value disputes you sometimes should. But for many County Court claims, bankruptcies and voluntary liquidations, the procedures are well defined and what people actually need is someone experienced to guide them through the forms, the deadlines and the decisions — without hourly rates that can quickly exceed the amount in dispute.
That is exactly what CEC Business Support provides: expert, practical guidance at a price that makes sense for the problem you are solving. And if your case genuinely needs regulated legal representation, we will tell you so.
Straight answers
Do I need a solicitor to make or defend a County Court claim?
No. Many County Court money claims are handled without a solicitor, especially small claims. We help you prepare your claim or defence, understand the court forms and deadlines, and consider Alternative Dispute Resolution — at a fraction of the cost of formal legal representation.
What is Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)?
ADR covers ways of settling a dispute without a court hearing, such as mediation or negotiation. Courts actively encourage it, and it is usually faster and cheaper than going to trial. We help you decide whether ADR suits your case and prepare you for it.
How does personal bankruptcy work?
Bankruptcy is a formal insolvency procedure that writes off debts you cannot pay. You apply online, an adjudicator decides, and an official receiver then manages your case. We explain each stage in plain English, help with the application, and support you until discharge.
What is the difference between insolvency and voluntary liquidation?
Insolvency means being unable to pay debts as they fall due. Voluntary liquidation is one way of dealing with it for a company — the directors and shareholders choose to close the company and have its assets distributed to creditors. We help you understand which route fits your situation.
How much do your services cost?
Considerably less than a solicitor. Because we provide guidance and practical support rather than regulated legal representation, our fees stay affordable — and we are always upfront about costs before any work starts.
