Who are The Solve Co?

Welcome to The Solve Co, a specialist business support organisation designed to address the unique needs of struggling business owners. Our journey began with The Insolvency Company, a traditional British insolvency practice, where we discovered gaps in the market and recognized the vital importance of providing more than just business closure services. Thus, The Solve Co #keepingbusinessownersinbusiness was born, offering a comprehensive range of services to delve deep into the underlying issues affecting businesses, providing both practical and emotional support.

At The Solve Co, we understand that running a business can be a challenging and overwhelming experience. Our mission is to empower business owners with the tools and guidance they need to navigate obstacles and emerge stronger, whether by revitalising their existing ventures or embracing new beginnings. Our solutions encompass a variety of services, including mentoring, coaching, and affordable closure, tailored to meet the unique requirements of each business we work with.

 What sets us apart from a traditional business support services is our commitment to keeping business owners in business wherever possible and offering affordable and accessible closure solutions for businesses facing insurmountable challenges. Running an insolvency practice we realised that many businesses couldn’t afford the services of an insolvency practitioner or found them unsuitable for their needs. Thus, we envisioned a service that caters to businesses seeking support at an earlier stage.

The Solve Co understands that running a business can be a difficult and emotional process. That’s why we offer more than just business advice; we provide wellbeing support to help business owners navigate the emotional aspects of closing a business. Our compassionate approach ensures that we guide and support you throughout the entire journey.
