We had been looking for a solution to close our small business, but found it was not going to be straightforward. We spoke to Marcus at Approved Recovery, who has gone above and beyond to give us workable solutions. Great communication and always ready to answer questions.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Approved Recovery Limited and I am extremely impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. From the moment I contacted them, the team was friendly and helpful, taking the time to thoroughly explain the process and help me understand my options. The process was seamless and stress-free, and I felt confident in their ability to handle it with care. I highly recommend this insolvency practitioners to anyone in need of their services.

Superb service What can I say Marcus is very professional, friendly and made the whole MVL as stress free as possible. Kept me informed all the way through and it was completed in a timely manner.I would not hesitate to recommend.

I contacted Approved Recovery Ltd for help in doing a Members Voluntary Liquidation of our company. Marcus Tout responded directly to my enquiry and ran me through the process and information requirements. I was immediately put at ease as clearly Marcus and his colleagues knew the full ‘ins and outs’ of the process and could steer us through it and, crucially, at a competitive fixed rate. Ours was a small company and I wanted a personal touch. Marcus and the support provided from Aarie Raza in Approved Accounting have given us that. Both are professional yet friendly and are proactive, and keep me apprised regularly along the way. My experience with Approved Recovery and Approved Accounting to date has been top notch. Highly recommended.

A few months ago I looked in google for an insolvency company and found Approved Recovery; great reviews so I contacted them. Marcus has been just amazing from the 1steps: professional, engaging, helpful, easy to work with and very competent, knowledgeable. So glad I found them! I'd recommend them 100% to anyone needing their services.

Jonathan O.

Very pleased with the services provided by Marcus Tout as we liquidated a family company. These things take time and very procedural. He guided us through the various steps needed , was very responsive to queries and everything went to plan. I have no hesitation in recommending Marcus to others who are just about to embark on the same journey

I had to Google to find someone to help close my company which is rather daunting and involves a "leap of faith". Having narrowed down to 3 possibilities, I called each and found Approved Recovery Ltd to be the most approachable, so I went with them. I was assigned to Marcus Tout, and he and Approved were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Totally professional, calm, accurate, proactive and fees very reasonable. My experience with them has been first class and I would totally recommend to others.

Having Dealt the Team at Approved Accounting for many years I felt confident using Approved Recovery as my insolvency practitioner. Marcus is experienced, skilled and professional. A real pleasure to do business with!

I’m so glad I appointed Approved Recovery Ltd. to liquidate my company instead of any of the other larger ones that were on my shortlist. Marcus Tout is a knowledgeable, helpful, responsive, qualified insolvency practitioner with many years of commercial experience. His work is faultless and always on time, despite pandemic delays caused by other organisations. Personal, hands-on service from a qualified professional is what you get from Approved Recovery, unlike some larger companies where the work is delegated to incompetent juniors. I’m speaking from first-hand experience! I cannot recommend Marcus and Approved Recovery enough to anyone who’s looking for a reliable and experienced company to close their business.

Joe D.

I was kept reassured and up to date throughout the liquidation process and would not hesitate to recommend.

Alexander A.

I was looking to appoint a liquidator to carry out a Members' Voluntary Liquidation of my limited company, so I have researched the market and reached out to a number of liquidation practitioners.What I found concerning, is that for a highly regulated profession, there is a number of different approaches that can be taken in a MVL, and it is unclear which one is the best, both from a liquidation practice and a shareholder's taxation standpoint.I decided to appoint Approved Recovery after a consultation with Marcus Tout, a licensed liquidator and the founder of Approved Recovery, during which he calmly explained that a liquidator protects the interests of the creditors (not the shareholders) and described how providing certain types of advise would conflict with those interests. This was vastly different from the 'conveyor belt' approach proposed by other liquidation practitioners on the market, and I found it reassuring.The level of service provided by Approved Recovery was truly outstanding and often cannot be found in even the most prestigious professional services firms. What sets Approved Recovery apart from the competition is the following:- The service is actually carried by a licensed insolvency practitioner (Marcus Tout) - many licensed liquidation practitioners delegate the work to a more junior or unlicensed members of staff- Approved Recovery has a sister accountancy practice, Approved Accountancy, which can provide advice on matters a liquidator cannot, such as tax and accounting (this is not available in most liquidation practices)- The actual liquidation process is highly streamlined thanks to extensive use of electronic signatures and online services- Approved Recovery can provide a tailored liquidation solution, taking into consideration the rules, industry best practices and the circumstances of your companyMarcus Tout is extraordinarily knowledgeable, highly professional and very responsive. I was extremely impressed with Approved Recovery, and I would highly and confidently recommend their services to anyone.

I approached Approved Recovery during a difficult period for my business and asked them to provide advice and guidance on the most appropriate next steps. Marcus was diligent and candid in his advice and really helped me in my time of need throughout the process. I couldn’t have wished for a better provider. Thank you!
