How Business Debtline helps

Business Debtline gives advice on important business debts such as tax and business rates and support if creditors take court action. Business Debtline helps people look at their business finances and decide the next steps to take. For example, they can advise on how best to recover debts from other people or how to close their business if that’s the right thing. They also advise people on personal debts such as credit cards and bank loans and help people budget better.

Businessdebtline.org contains guidesfact sheets and sample letters, as well as a business and household budget tool.
