Services
For over 30 years, we have helped thousands of businesses to face their financial difficulties, and deliver solutions that other financial support services can't provide. Our approach is to truly understand the very heart and soul of a business, and work with its people to brighten up their futures.
At Portland we aim to provide the best impartial, professional insolvency advice to clients. Whether it's about reviewing business performance, addressing financial disputes or deciding the best way to reverse a decline in profitability. We can help you find the right answers to support you moving forward, with complete confidentiality and sensitivity.
If it feels like your business is running out of control, the fog is descending, or you just have a problem and you are not sure what to do about it, we can help. Portland firstly identifies the business problem, but because were interested in your business survival, we'll also provide the way through to the solution and assess your business viability.
Dispute resolution between parties can come in many forms. It may be a dispute with a customer regarding contractual terms, often connected with payment. It may be between joint owners over the future direction of the business. Either way, dealing with disputes can be as stressful for the parties involved, as it is destructive.
In keeping with our ethos of serving clients with efficient and effective solutions to a wide range of business challenges, Portland has developed a unique, low cost service for Capital Distributions to Shareholders. The service is called Quickcap, and it is a process that delivers a cost-effective Members' Voluntary Liquidation ("MVL") at a fixed price.

I cannot thank Portland enough for the work they have carried out for us during the pandemic. During these difficult times they have been proactive, professional and responsive in the business they have conducted for us. We would like to thank ALL of the staff at Portland for their passion and personal pride in bringing the work in hand for our two companies to a very satisfactory conclusion. I would not hesitate to recommend Portland to anyone who requires their services.
Thank you again to all, great job.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
I used Portland for a Members' Voluntary Liquidation of my Personal Services Company. They were highly efficient, only contacting me when required, thus keeping costs to a minimum. I recommended them to someone else, also with a PSC, and I know he was equally satisfied with the experience.

So I work for a bank and was dealing with the liquidation of one of our clients who recently went into liquidation which is when I had an opportunity to deal with Portland Business Support and Advice.
To give a background, I must also add that I have a lot of clients who have gone into liquidation and as a result I get to deal with numerous Business Recovery institutions all across UK who deal with the liquidation of my clients.
In general my experience has been of exchanging multiple emails for simple queries/clarification and as a rule, I have accepted to expect some delay in getting the work

Due to the Pandemic and the huge downturn in the aviation / airport traffic , we Premier Portfolio Int Ltd a supplier of toys and games to this market place had to close our business down. We took advice from Portland from the outset and they guided us through the process of the MVL . Our closure was going to be a complicated process as we had many business obligations to sort out , a large stock holding which required clearing and initially it looked quite a daunting task. Andrew and his team guided us through the process calmly , professionally and in a confident manner, I would highly recommend

I've worked with Sandie Williams on a number of projects over the past several years. She has been so helpful in assisting some of my clients who have chosen to close their company's, by taking the stress factor away and making the process seem a lot more straight forward. Sandie explains the process professionally to my clients, and always keeps me in the loop as the process unfolds. I've had some great feedback from my clients following Portland's professional service.

Portland have been helping my clients for over 20 years on the South Coast with previous employers and latterly at the firm SGW Accountancy Services in Hampshire which I manage.
They are my "go to" professionals when Clients require the very particular and critical support in the Business Lifecycle. Always encouraging early, full disclosure of circumstances such that our Clients are given the very best range of options and typically "comfort" in the often complex arena of financial difficulties.
Sound solid advice with direction.

We have dealt with Portland for very many years, knowing Carl and Mike of old. More recently, we have also been pleased to work with Steve and now Stewart. We have always found them to be generous with their time - happy to talk through specific cases, when many have not materialised into chargeable work for them.
They are knowledgeable and authoritative, but demonstrate humility and sensitivity. They are pragmatic, flexible and reasonable on fees and good attention to detail. We have had very positive feedback from our clients who I have recommended to them and feel comfortable doing so, in the

I have been using the services provided by Portland Business Support & Advice on and off for nearly 20 years. They have always provided good sensible advice in a very relaxed manner that has set the clients at ease and the advice has always been very professional, clear and concise. I would thoroughly recommend Portland to anyone seeking their services as I know that they will be in safe hands and properly looked after.
