Free templates and checklists for company directors
Every template here is free, complete on the page, and downloadable with no email gate. They cover the paperwork moments of company distress: proposing a Time to Pay arrangement to HMRC, asking a creditor honestly for time, minuting the board's decision to take insolvency advice, responding to a winding-up petition on its real deadlines, gathering the documents a liquidator needs, and handling wages and redundancy when the money has run out. Each one states its sources, with dates, from gov.uk and legislation.gov.uk, and links the matching free tool so you can put your own numbers in. They are general information, drafted to be honest with creditors and safe for directors, not legal or insolvency advice: the decisions behind them, especially whether and how to keep trading, belong in a conversation with a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner. If that conversation is overdue, ask for a free, confidential review of your situation.
