Are you a Victim of Subby Bashing?

Have you experienced the negative impacts of subcontractor mistreatment? In the construction industry, numerous subcontractors face the unfortunate practice of "subby bashing," leading to significant financial strains.

Bigger companies often prolong payments to subcontractors, fully aware that these smaller entities lack the means to contest this injustice and are hesitant to jeopardise potential future contracts.

This reprehensible conduct remains distressingly common within the construction domain. Regrettably, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) throughout the UK are grappling with an outstanding debt of over £50 billion due to delayed payments. If you find yourself trapped in this practice, reach out to us today.

Support with CCJs, Late Payments and Bad Debt

Addressing these issues promptly is crucial. The ramifications of a CCJ against your company extend beyond a mere dent in your credit rating; it can disrupt supplier agreements, impede future loan acquisitions, and lead to a host of creditor-related complications. Ultimately, it might culminate in an alarming scenario where enforcement agents arrive at your premises.

The construction industry is particularly susceptible to a surge in CCJs, which has directly contributed to an escalated rate of business closures. Moreover, this sector grapples with a notably higher prevalence of unpaid invoices, late payments, and problematic debts compared to various other industries.

Our team of Insolvency Solicitors are here to offer their expert advice and guidance tailored to tackling these common financial difficulties. Don’t delay in reaching out for a free, non-obligation introductory consultation with our experts.
