In practice

Directors who actually complete.

Around 88% of directors will complete pre-appointment themselves, without chasing, if the process is designed for them. Most processes aren't.

The default assumption

Directors are difficult. They don't respond. They send the wrong documents. They miss questions. The conclusion most firms draw: chasing is just part of pre-appointment work.

It isn't.

It's a function of how the work is set up. When a director gets a PDF shopping list over email, half the items don't apply to them, and the language assumes context they don't have, the default outcome is partial submissions and follow-up cycles. The director didn't fail. The process did.

The shift

Sequential steps. Plain language. Specific prompts. Save and return on any device. When the director can see what's being asked, why, and in what order, the work gets done.

"We onboarded a director through Close Easy who'd been through our old Excel-based process on a previous case 12 months ago. No prompting from us, he volunteered that the portal was easier to complete, looked professional, and let him work through it in his own time. Not a tech person. Didn't need to be."
Nick Bonser, PBC Business Recovery

The same director, the same kind of case, twelve months apart. The variable was the process, not the person.

The knock-on effect

Faster director completion changes what your team has to do per case. Less chasing. Less extracting. The same caseload runs on less people-time.

"We didn't need to replace a case manager when they left. The process did what the person used to do."
Anthony Antorkas, Parker Andrews

Headcount used to be the cap on caseload. The platform changes the equation. The same team can do more, or the same caseload can run on less.

In their own words

Don't take our word for it.

Close Easy means 100% completion on every case. Directors follow a clear path - they know exactly what's needed and they get it done without support. Case managers can progress cases with a clear auditable trail..

If we save half an hour per case, the tool's paid for itself. We're saving a lot more than that.

Nick Bonser
PBC Business Recovery

We're not PWC, we're a boutique firm. The branded portal is what gives directors confidence that their money is in safe, professional hands.

James Corfield

Close Easy means the process is the platform. We can take on more cases without anything bending - same flow, same standard, every time. That's what lets us grow without losing what works.

Gareth Wilcox
OPUS Restructuring & Insolvency

We're a small firm and we want to feel like a bigger one when a director first encounters us. Close Easy gives us a branded onboarding flow that sets the tone - directors take us seriously from the first click. The team has taken to it without us having to push, which says something about how it's built. For a firm our size, looking professional is half the battle when you're competing against the bigger names. Close Easy makes that a bit easy.

Rob Horton

When we lost a case manager we didn't replace them. Close Easy absorbed the work. The pre-appointment side runs cleaner now with one fewer person than it did before with the full team - directors do their own data gathering, the case manager has a clear list of what's left to do, nothing falls through. The decision not to rehire is one of the easiest I've made. It paid for itself before the role would have been filled.

Antony Antorkas
Parker Andrews

The shift Close Easy makes is simple — I'm no longer the hub. The director goes to one place, the case manager goes to one place, and I check in rather than chase. A quick call to say 'how's it going' instead of half a day reconstructing where each case is. For me that's the whole point. Pre-appointment used to own a chunk of every week. Now it doesn't.

Andreas Arakapiotis

It's been a delight working with the guys at Close Easy, who have transformed clunky checklists and questionnaires into refreshingly straightforward tasks while not compromising on compliance. I'm sure they make a huge difference to insolvency teams and directors, taking the headache out of information-gathering.

We are looking forward to continuing to work closely with Close Easy to help take the pain of updating systems away from clients and ensure they remain compliant as regulations change.

Close Easy is a pre-appointment platform for UK insolvency firms. Directors complete ID checks, signatures, and data capture through a secure portal branded as your firm. Case managers work through standardised checklists. The IP checks in instead of chasing. We work with firms running CVLs, MVLs, administrations and CVAs. We don't do IVAs.

Create an onboarding, run company and director AML checks, and upload a Letter of Engagement for director e-sign, all within the platform. You then share a single link with your prospective client that guides them through providing all required liquidation information, documents, and signatures. The system follows up on missing items and organises everything for your team. Once complete, all data feeds into your workflow, removing manual data entry and shortening the pre-appointment process.
