Points to Consider when Picking Your Insolvency Practitioner
Do They Have a License?
Insolvency practitioners require a license to practice.

- Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW)
- Insolvency Practitioners Association (IPA)
- Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland (ICAS)
- Chartered Accountants in Ireland
Practitioners licensed by the above may only legally undertake functions required in any UK insolvency process.
Experience
When looking then to check out experience. Arrange an appointment, ensuring you are clear in your objectives. Quiz the IP on what they may propose for your business and ask for the advice in writing.
IP’s should never hold back on experience nor make exaggerated claims.
Remember, the experience is vital for confidence to deal with your companies situation. Each case is different. You have the option not to accept them or may even appoint joint liquidators if unsure.
Trust. Faith?
Whatever course of action you may take concerning the company, it’s likely to be quite a stressful and challenging time. It would help if you trusted the insolvency practitioner that you appoint as it may be that you are required to work with them for an extended period. Insolvency practitioners have many fiduciary duties to carry out. They are required to ensure they manage themselves with proficiency and utmost integrity. Still, it would help if you were comfortable with them before you engage them.
