Client in real financial difficulty

Posted by FirstTab PM | on Wed, 14/09/2011 - 06:17  3495  39 comments | report

I have a category C PITA client who is now in real financial difficulty now. The business is a wine bar and restaurant. 2 other business in the same trade in the area have  closed down.  I have had this client for about 2 years now. 

He was not able to pay his VAT for the last quarter. I asked him to call HMRC debt line and agree installments with them.

This is my first client in such difficulty. My question is how else can I help this client? I really want to help the two directors, but I am not sure how.
