The Independent Insolvency Panel
Independent advice, when it matters most.
Panel members are senior people in separate, specialist firms that typically don’t take appointments from the big banks or one or two major creditors.
Why independence matters
Insolve helps solve conflicts of interest.
Many insolvency professionals might think they can manage the conflicts of interest that come up when a business fails. That is easier said than done if they work for a bank or a large corporation with an interest in the outcome.
The Insolve Panel’s independence is designed so these conflicts don’t arise. Members are equally qualified and experienced, and as members of the independent panel they meet certain criteria:
- 01They work for a separate firm.
- 02They don’t take work from the big banks or one or two major creditors.
- 03They typically work in firms independent of the majors.
- 04The Insolve structure makes it much easier for panellists to manage the rights of multiple stakeholders.

Transparency · Fairness · Cost-effectiveness
Liquidation is not inevitable
Insolve is not trying to trap you by offering what looks like a cheap liquidation. Our aim is to find the best possible solution for you while minimising the collateral damage so you can move ahead and create a positive future for yourself and your loved ones.
Insolve is the independent panel of liquidators acting as advisors and appointees. We are experts in liquidation, bankruptcy and insolvency, specialising in helping small to medium business.
Competitive fees
Panel members deliver service to businesses large and small, without the overheads of the big international firms. That helps keep costs down.
A commitment to fairness and transparency
Many insolvency professionals might think they can manage the conflicts of interest that come up when a business fails. That is easier said than done if they work for a bank or a large corporation with an interest in the outcome, or they accept work from the failed business’s lawyer.
