Entertainments Company, Pub & Restaurant – M.H. Company Director
From that very first phone call, I remember putting the phone down with a big sigh, what a relief, you helped me look at my business and guided me through some very tough decisions, I got together some simple facts that you needed about the business and with your support I got through what was the hardest time of my life. You made it so simple and stress free !

Construction Company – Middlesex – T.W. Small Business Director
My small business like others was massively affected from recent events in the financial world, I found myself trying to keep going and getting more and more insolvent. Pride in what I do was all I had, the bank and the HMRC cutting my legs off. Despite my best efforts I could see the end of my company, but did not know what to do or who to turn to?
I contacted professional help from research in the internet and this is how I found Mike Smith, and I am pleased I did. I knew after my initial phone call I could trust him, his immediate advice made me feel I had an ally who would steer me through this, and for the first time in ages I slept!
I want to thank Mike sincerely for all his help and being on the end of a phone when ever I needed advice or reassurance. Even ringing me to see how things were if he had not heard from me for a while. Expertise and a friend at time when you feel like you have none is what I feel I got.
If you are in a similar situation and reading this, you are in the right place to get the best help believe me. T.W. Small Business Director – Middlesex
Fashion Retailer – West Sussex – C.B. - Company Director
When I started my retail business in 2008, I felt sure that I had the right stock, philosophy and atmosphere in the shops to be relatively recession-proof and an exciting first year of trade confirmed this. However, as 2011 arrived and one shop had become three, I found that despite every effort, things were taking a turn for the worst and finances were getting tight.
Having exhausted my personal understanding of where to turn next, I searched the Internet as a last resort for professional advice regarding my business and the difficulties I was facing. It was the straight-forward, no-nonsense advice so readily available on the Jameson Smith & Co website that gave me confidence in this company’s abilities to help me recover from the sticky situation I’d found myself in. Having read through the testimonials from other clients I was assured in my need to talk to Mike Smith.
From our initial meeting to now I have felt reassured by Mike and his team and I feel I can always call him with a problem should one arise. I am hugely grateful for the clear advice and friendly support I have received from Jameson Smith & Co in getting me back on my feet and I am confident that if I hadn’t turned to them when I did, my business wouldn’t be steadily recovering like it is today.
C.B. Company Director – West Sussex
Camping & Leisure Company – Somerset – Matt P. Company Director
“When you are running your own business there are lots of stress’s, but when your business is really struggling and you know you need to close it. The stress and worrys are unbelivable. I was in this position and did not know who to turn to. Then I found Jamseon Smith & Co on the web and within one phone call I was put at ease. It was the hardest time of my life and Mike and his team helped me through it all the way. It doesn’t cost anything anyway for a phone call but the help and advice was priceless to me.” – Matt P. Director
Creditor of Company Being Liquidated – East Sussex – Ellie
I was one of the people effected by the liquidation of the company who engaged you recently. This news left me devastated over the weekend (tragic I know but it was stress I really didn’t need) and I was unsure what I was going to do or where I stood.
On calling your company on Monday, I had the pleasure of speaking with Tammy. She took ownership of my situation, reassured me that she’d do everything to help me and said she’d get back to me with any news she had. She was true to her word and called me back soon after to say that she’d need to call me on Tuesday or Wednesday with further information as she was unable to speak to the necessary contact until then. Imagine my delight when she called me a couple of hours later to say that she’d spoken to someone who had confirmed that my wedding dress was ready and that Tammy had made arrangements for the dress to be sent to an alternative shop close to where I live. I think I may have embarrassed Tammy as I told her she was an angel and that I loved her but that wasn’t far from the truth!
I work in Customer Service and we’re always told the importance of ‘wowing’ your customer and giving feedback. Tammy went over and above what was called of her and I really feel like she’s saved my wedding and more importantly my sanity! I was so impressed by her efficiency, professionalism and her kindness. If she worked for my company, I’d nominate her for an award as she obviously cares about those she deals with. Please, please pass on my gratitude to Tammy and well done for having such a star working for you.
If I were ever conscious of anyone needing the type of services you offer, I would instantly give them your company name because of the quality of service I’ve received even though I am not a director.
Kind Regards, Ellie
Building & Construction – West Midlands – G.O. Company Director
“Most helpful was the ease of contacting Mike and the team at any hour of the day. After months of turmoil I felt the weight lift from my shoulders immediately I retained their services. Whereas I had been muddling my way through a minefield. Mike and his team knew exactly what to do and went about it efficiently and quickly. I felt the pressure lift immediately; if anything it was my own initial reluctance to listen to Mike’s initial advice that cost me another month of stress and his initial advice turned out to be “spot on”. No worries about anything and Creditors managed very well with all the advice and help I needed. A Big thank you to Jameson Smith & Co.” G.O. Company Director – West Midlands

Engineering Fabrication Company – Kent – PE Managing Director
The prospect of liquidation was the most worrying and stressful situation I had ever found myself in. The best decision I ever made was to contact Mike. Almost immediately he was able to lighten the load. He handled everything, took care of creditors and put me in the hands of an excellent liquidator. Throughout the whole process Mike was always on hand, responding promptly to any messages or call I made. His reassurance was a great comfort as he guided me through the process which became almost effortless and painless. I am still astonished at the high level of service he provided for what was in my opinion a nominal fee. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mike to anyone, unfortunate enough to require his help.” P. E. Managing Director – Kent

“I was a managing director of a small heating and plumbing firm that found itself in difficulty in January 2011. I searched the internet for business advice and came across Mike and his team. After reading excellent reviews I decided to give him a call. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made!
Mike discussed all my options with me, giving clear and genuine advice. Every query I had was answered quickly and professionally. Mike and his team ensured that a difficult time was handled sensitively and effectively. I would not hesitate to recommend Mike and his team to anyone experiencing financial difficulty in business. They are very professional, hard working and diligent and turn a seemingly impossible situation into a manageable one.
Yours faithfully,
PRC managing director”
Financial Advisor – Managing Director
“Mike Smith helped me greatly last year, due to a break up with a business partner and the recession, I was forced to close down my business. This caused me great stress until Mike came along and helped me through it. After the liquidation of the company the bank and a provider of products came after me personally, he was able to reduce the amount I had to pay and negotiated all the transactions on my behalf. I do not think I would of got through the last 8 months without Mike’s assistance.
I would thoroughly recommend Mike and Jameson Smith & Co to anyone who is in the same boat as I was.”
Cleaning Company – Sam G – (Director)
“We all use the web to search for all manner of things – type in a question to google – can google guide me? What would we do without google?! So one Saturday morning I type in HMRC visit – threaten winding up order. Various options come up. I contacted Mike this Saturday morning feeling pretty down, we had been struggling with HMRC debts for over a year, trying to do our best – keep in contact with them – pay what we could when we said we would. The day before though a Lady from HMRC turned up on my doorstep to give me 14 days to pay in full or she would wind the company up. From the first contact with Mike – and yes on a Saturday morning he returned my call, I gave him a brief outline of the situation I had got in and from that moment he took charge. I do not know how many people he is guiding at any one time but you do not feel as if you are a burden, he keeps on top of what to do and here I am now some 5 weeks later moving forward from this situation. So to Mike and Tammi, thank you for doing exactly what all of these testimonials say – a great job.” – Sam G, Company Director, Northants

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Mike!!! He has been wonderful from beginning to end. Our situation was complicated to say the least but Mike was there every time I phoned, texted or e mailed and that was many a time!! He was always more than helpful and had plenty of time for me no matter how many times I asked the same question and no matter what I threw at him. He and his team prepared the necessary information so thoroughly that when we finally went to the Insolvency Practitioner I had nothing to do and this all ran smoothly. Through what was a difficult time Mike put me at ease and has help us as a company and individuals greatly, therefore, as I said at the beginning a great big thank you and I am now looking forward to a lot less stressful year.

Building Contractor – Graham T (Managing Director)
“I owed the HMRC over £32,000 and they were going to wind my company up in the High Court. I contacted Mike and he got straight on the case and I was so fed up I just said liquidate my company, but we discussed all the options and I let Mike take over negotiations. Mike discovered the HMRC owed me £23,000 and the High Court case was dropped….if you have problems with the HMRC don’t hesitate give Mike a call”. GT of Surrey.
Home improvements Lynne B (Sole Trader)
“If you are reading this it means you probably need help, do not hesitate to call Mike. I cannot stress enough how professional and friendly Mike and his team are. Most professionals write letters, Mike picks up the phone and really gets the work done. I wish I had met him earlier when the financial problems first started rather than burying my head in the sand. You will get inundated with lots of companies but this is one company that you can rely on. I don’t think I would have got through this without him! You may have an accountant and solicitor but this guy is so professional at what he does”. LB of West Sussex.
Licensed Wine Retailer JB (Sole Trader)
“I would like to confirm how welcome your services have been in assisting my business through the current economic situation. Throughout the consultation, I have found you to be professional and effective ensuring my business survives the current downturn and moves forward in a positive manner. I have no reservations in recommending you to anybody requiring assistance.” JB of Surrey.
Carpentry and Builder Darryl E (Managing Director)
“I had got myself into a situation where I couldn’t repay my debts personal and company and was having my vans repossessed, electricity turned off at my company workplace when I got a letter off Mike. Up until then I just didn’t respond to letters and hid the facts from my wife as my home was at risk because of a personal guarantee. I called him and he has been a great help in providing guidance and negotiating with my Creditors giving me a breathing space. We’ve got rid of the PG problem, but more than that he provides a personal touch so you’ve got someone you can rely on and who knows what he’s doing and I am getting on top of things. My confidence and work have both picked up together and I am currently negotiating with potential investors and Mike is advising me there too. Mike’s been brilliant, just give him a call. DE of Kent.
Construction Tony D (Sole Trader)
“My wife had to call Mike as I was so down as I was in so much debt and didn’t know where to turn. I had an injury that had left me hospitalised for 3 months and people who owed me money didn’t pay. Credit Cards, Inland Revenue, VAT, Business loans and overdraft, you name it I had it – I didn’t dare answer the phone, or open letters. My wife asked him to call me which he did at work on my mobile. It was the best thing that has happened to me in a while. Within weeks we had all my debts under control and he introduced me to Leonard Curtis the Insolvency Practitioners. We have a proposal in at the moment for an IVA and things are looking a lot better. Just pick up the phone its crazy not to as it’s your family that suffer too you just don’t know it.” TD of Hampshire.
Dentist – David A (Sole Trader)
“I found the service, advice and personal attention given by Mike Smith to be invaluable. One has enough stress to deal with anyway and it’s just good to know that someone is there helping you alleviate it by keeping you in the loop all the time. It’s like a comfortable journey through your troubled times…highly recommended.” – DA of West Sussex
