We’d fought so hard to keep the restaurant going through lockdowns.

In the end the lease arrears and the debt we’d built up just couldn’t be overcome.

I felt like I’d failed — personally, not just in business. Business Guardian never once made me feel that way.

They were kind, they were human. They reminded me I’d done everything I could.

The liquidation itself was handled so discreetly — my staff, my regulars, nobody needed to see me fall apart.

We came out the other side with our dignity intact.

Outcome

CVL completed sensitively. Lease obligations terminated. Couple now pursuing a new venture.
