    Help me name my business

    Business in trouble.

    Oh Mate, I feel for you. I run a recruitment agency and had to place it into liquidation 2 years ago......corporation tax got the better of me. Its ok just make sure that your directors loan account is paid up otherwise the insolvency practitioner will make you pay it back
