Tough times call for smart moves

At BAND, it’s safe to say we know all about the creative industries sector. The thrill of landing a big client, the pressure of unpredictable cash flow, and the relentless drive it takes to succeed. When financial challenges arise whether it’s tighter margins or mounting debt you don’t need off-the-shelf solutions. You need expert, tailored support designed specifically for creative businesses. That’s why we’ve partnered with FTS Recovery to help agencies like yours navigate uncertainty and emerge stronger.

Protect what you’ve built – unlock what’s next

Financial strain doesn’t mean the end of your creative vision. It’s a turning point an opportunity to explore new strategies with expert guidance. Together with FTS Recovery, we provide specialised insolvency and restructuring solutions that keep your focus where it belongs: on delivering exceptional work for your clients.

Restructuring your way forward

Restructuring can offer the breathing room your creative business needs. From renegotiating creditor terms to optimising operations for better cash flow, we help craft a tailored plan that keeps you in control. With FTS’ licensed insolvency practitioners by your side, you’ll have the expertise needed to ease financial pressure without compromising your agency’s core strengths.

A Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA)

A CVA provides a structured way to repay debts over an agreed period (typically three to five years) while keeping your business intact. Designed to align with the cash flow your creative business needs, this legally binding agreement enables you to continue operating, retain your team, and maintain client relationships minimising disruption and maximising stability.

Refinancing for financial flexibility

Refinancing could provide the cash injection your creative business needs. Whether through new funding or debt consolidation, our partnership with FTS gives you access to lenders who understand the unique financial cycles of the marketing industry – turning today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities.

Company Administration

If immediate protection is needed, administration can provide a vital pause to regroup and reassess. We can help secure a moratorium, shielding your business from creditor pressure while FTS specialists develop a recovery strategy. Far from a last resort, administration can be a proactive step towards preserving jobs, protecting assets, and securing a sustainable future.
