Senior UK advisers on the side of directors.
McKenzie Friends & Co. was founded to give UK business owners the calm, independent guidance they deserve when personal guarantees and business debt threaten everything they've built.
Built for the questions banks and lenders won't answer.
We founded McKenzie Friends & Co. after seeing too many good directors caught out by personal guarantees they didn't fully understand, or by creditor pressure that felt impossible to navigate alone. Our team has spent decades on the inside of lenders, insolvency firms and turnaround practices — and we bring that experience directly to you.
We are proudly independent. We accept no commissions from lenders, insolvency practitioners or debt providers. Our advice is guided by one question only: what is genuinely right for you, your business and your family?
Whether you need a second opinion on a document, a plan for managing creditor pressure, or a calm hand through a formal process, we're here to help you make the best decision — early, clearly, and with your future protected.
