I was first introduced to Roger 2 years ago, when my limited company took a severe turn for the worse, leading to liquidation. Then the real problems started for me when all the personal guarantees came to light, and the only exit strategy was personal bankruptcy. The worst part of it for me was how to deal with the Trustees interest in the family home.

Roger came to the table with his reassuring and matter of fact, let’s face what is coming and deal with it one step at a time, approach. He used his years of experience, and truly kept to his word. He made it feel like our troubles had been taken away from myself and my partner. He did all the negotiating direct, achieving an extremely positive outcome for us, an affordable settlement to buy out the Trustee’s interest, leaving us in our home.

It doesn’t end there. He managed to put me onto a lender that would provide a second mortgage on the property, even though I had only recently been discharged from bankruptcy.

If you unfortunately find yourself in the situation I found myself in, Roger is the person to sort the job out. Casual, prompt, honest and reassuring every step of the way. The best is, for the outcome he achieved, his fees are very reasonable.

Absolutely the most honest, hard working chap I have ever done business with, for which we as a family will forever be grateful.

I can't express enough gratitude for the exceptional support I received from Roger at Anvil Business Advisory. When my business faced the challenging task of negotiating with difficult creditors during its closure, Roger stepped in as a true lifesaver.

His expertise and professionalism were evident from the moment we began working together. Roger not only understood the intricate financial details but also showed an incredible knack for navigating sensitive situations. His strategic approach to negotiations was nothing short of impressive, and he consistently kept my best interests at heart.

What truly stood out was Roger's ability to communicate effectively with creditors who seemed adamant and uncompromising. His calm demeanor and persuasive skills helped ease the tension and resulted in successful negotiations that I couldn't have achieved on my own.

Roger's dedication to my case was remarkable. He was responsive, accessible, and consistently provided updates, making sure I was well-informed every step of the way. His commitment to finding solutions was unwavering, and I felt reassured knowing that he was in my corner.

If you're looking for someone who not only understands the complexities of business finances but also has the compassion and determination to guide you through tough situations, Roger at Anvil Business Advisory is the person to turn to. I am immensely grateful for his support during a challenging period and wholeheartedly recommend his services. Thank you, Roger!

Roger was extremely helpful and also very understanding. I felt comfortable having him deal with my issues and would recommend him to many of the trades I work alongside. Having other people and larger businesses owing money is very worrying and so having someone who can deal with this for you confidently and respectfully is very welcome. I would not hesitate to use him again.
Thank you Roger.

Roger was introduced to me from a contact of mine when I found myself in an extremely difficult position, commercially and personally, a position I never thought I would be in. Having ran multiple successful companies, I assumed that my commercial and personal life would continue to thrive. However, due to covid related issues, my companies commenced a downward spiral. As a result of this, I unfortunately had to cease trading. Upon the cessation of such trading, it was brought to my attention that as I had Personally Guaranteed several business loans, I was held liable - personally. Having no income for a while, this was the worst thing that could possibly happen. To cut out the long story, the creditors were attempting to bankrupt me, I became lost in all communications due to the personal / mental pressure which I had to endure. Having no experience with dealing with such matters, I was lost, depressed, anxious and mentally dead. Roger was then introduced to me - and how grateful I am for that introduction.

Roger has been astounding, in both a customer relations way, and a 'get the job done' way. Roger immediately took all of the pressures away from me, stepped in as my agent and sailed the ship smoothly and successfully. Roger's emails to the creditors were very effective and strong. In a short space of time (where I was having no success whatsoever) he managed to get all creditors to accept my settlement offers and has stayed true to his word every step of the way. Roger has been available when I needed him, he has gone the extra mile and helped me with other matters that I have been struggling with - he has been a gem. Roger - thank you. You really have saved my life (as cringey as that sounds).

If anyone needs help with creditors - Roger is your guy!

Thanks again!!!!!

I gave Roger a call after a mutual friend passed me his details. Once I had appraised him of my situation he quickly responded and within a few weeks (the time it took for the 3rd party to respond) I had a positive outcome and would highly recommend Anvilba (Rogers company) to anybody who is in the position where a large company is trying to get you to do something you don't think is right but they threaten you with solicitors and you feel you can't win. I am a firm believer that if you are not in the wrong then fight, if you need help to do that Roger is your man.

I don't normally do references, but occasionally an exception service deserves a little recognition and credit where credit is due. I also think those who may need your services are often in a position of financial vulnerability and need to make sure they are not making another costly mistake.
Anybody finding themselves at the wrong end of big company bullying or bank injustices often try the usual routes of a complaint followed by the ombudsman and still find they get nowhere. You're then left with giving up, or the expensive route of attempting to take big companies to court. It is very easy to get tied up in this with cases dragging on for years and the costs mounting with no resolution in sight.
Roger came recommended to me by a mutual acquaintance and that gave me the confidence to let him do what he does. I had little to lose. So, this is my recommendation to anyone else trapped between a financial rock and a hard place to give him a call. - And the sooner the better, don't leave and put it off, it only makes it harder to help.
The first thing you will notice is that he listens, and very carefully, to properly understand your position. You know what they say about a problem shared is a problem halved, it is true with Roger. The second thing is that he has been in the same position as me and shafted by big companies so he knows how it feels, and he knows that you can usually get out of it in a better way than you think.
Roger does persevere and is not put off by a few knock backs along the way, he keeps going. It is rarely an overnight fix, it takes time to go through the processes, but if you have a just case he will be your new best friend.
It will cost you nothing to pick up the phone and have that first conversation.
Anyway, a big thank you from me, and I hope this helps your new clients have the confidence to seek resolution through your unique type of work.
Thanks again and all the very best.
Regards,
Allan

Insolvency Advice
Anvil introduced us to one of their insolvency advice consultants. This was a two for one deal for us, having Roger on hand to focus on the creditor pressure and personal guarantee issues, while receiving specialist insolvency advice which helped us to make some really important decisions about our future, which we were struggling to deal with before.

Roger's service during my Delapidation process has been magnificent, he really knows the ins and outs of the process, I appointed a so called legal Delapidation lawyer to handle my defence and they kept going back to Roger for guidance, it's taken almost 18 months to reach an agreement with my former landlord and Roger has been with me every step of the way, he is a first class professional in his field, thanks so much Roger.
