Outstanding Guidance Through the Insolvency Process

Leading Business Services made a difficult situation feel genuinely manageable. Their team was clear, organised and supportive throughout, guiding us step‑by‑step and keeping everything calm and straightforward. We felt fully informed at every stage, and their professional approach gave us real confidence. We’re very grateful for how smoothly they handled the whole process.

Kingsley Legal ?

Why have you got a convicted fraudster who is acting as a shadow director because he is banned chasing your debts at Kingley Legal. Are you fraudsters too? Word has it on Facebook he is charged with RAPE, is that TRUE??

If you are being chased by Kingsley Legal report them to SFO and keep all evidence.

We're not entirely sure this is anything to do with any live cases we are currently working on, therefore we've requested further information from you in order to investigate further. Thank you

Communication is extremely poor

Communication is extremely poor. Sent an email to Amreem, Daisy and Alan on Monday as my salary amount was incorrect.
Beware.....they will pay well below minimum wage which is illegal.
Then you get the silent treatment.
Shame on you all.
So very rude and unprofessional from the start.
Future companies thinking of using them .......PLEASE AVOID

Thanks for your comments Denise. I have investigated with the team and can see from our records that they are in regular communication with you, including this week and they have answered your queries. Please note that it is not us, as liquidators, who determine the amount you are paid, it's the Redundancy Payments Office.

Thank you

I want to leave a heartfelt review for Lewella at Simple Liquidation.

Going through financial difficulties has been one of the most stressful and emotional times of my life, and from the very first conversation Lewella was incredibly kind, patient and attentive. She genuinely listened to me, took the time to understand my situation, and explained everything clearly without ever making me feel pressured or judged.

I felt it was important to recognise the level of care and professionalism Lewella showed throughout. She made a very difficult process feel more manageable and gave me real confidence at a time when I needed it most.

Lewella is truly one of a kind, and I’m very grateful for the support she gave me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend speaking with her.

Voluntary liquidation in September…

Voluntary liquidation in September 2023. Still not completed and now they're chasing us for £81,000. That we haven't had. Steer clear, they're supposed to be working for you. We have now got to get a solicitor to handle this. Crooks

Thanks for your review. I can see from our files that you have had lengthy correspondence with the Liquidator regarding this. It is our legal and regulatory duty to carry out all matters as disclosed in the correspondence, and it appears that the matter is in hand.

Ridiculous company

Ridiculous company. STAY AWAY!!

Two years on from starting this case, and no sign of conclusion.

They rarely respond to emails and when they do, they fob you off.

If you want a firm to liquidate your company in a timely and efficient manner DO NOT USE LEADING!!!

UPDATE SINCE LEADING'S REPLY

Radio silence as expected. Despite stating someone would be in touch. This company is not to be trusted

Good decision about liquidation

In early October 2024, I decided to search online for how to close my Ltd company after 22 years in business. For many years it was doing very well, but after Brexit and then Covid, it started falling deeper and deeper into debt.

After filling out a form, I received a phone call from Daria, also Polish, who encouraged me—after a long conversation—to take this step, because there’s no point in struggling any longer. She told me I wasn’t alone; many businesses were going through the same thing.

It took me about another month to really think it through, but I finally made the decision. I began the process in November. It’s now coming to an end—although it could have gone faster, I was hit by depression. But now, I’m starting a new life, free from financial burdens that I would never have been able to overcome. Nearly £200,000 in debt...

There’s a lot of paperwork to go through, but Daria provides guidance with everything. I’ve now regained peace of mind, I’m coming out of depression, and I feel free.

I truly recommend taking this step—and getting in touch with Daria—to anyone in a similar situation.

my 'Liquidation' is now over 18 months

my 'Liquidation' is now over 18 months. not including the goal post change by the company of 'when' they decide the liquidation starts. AVOID. Bad communicators, bad at their jobs, very bad for business. I am so surprised any company can work like this. when you are used to an industry that delivers high quality work in a speedy and professional manner. It seems extraordinary that Leading survive as a company.

Thank you for your review, upon investigation I understand that the team have been in touch very recently regarding matters outstanding and these are under review. I do apologise if the communication has been of a poor standard, and we are taking measures to rectify this as a matter of priority.
