Insolvency & Restructuring Partners
The directors you need to reach are the ones who come to us first.
When a business is in trouble, the founder rarely calls an insolvency practitioner first. They search for support, for someone who understands what they are going through, for reassurance that they are not alone. That is exactly what Fortitude Foundation provides. By the time they are ready for professional restructuring advice, they need to know where to find a practitioner they can trust. Partnership with Fortitude Foundation puts your firm at the front of that referral pathway.
Why This Partnership Works
Early intervention saves businesses and produces better outcomes for all stakeholders. Directors who engage with restructuring advice early have more options: CVAs, refinancing, managed exits. Those who wait too long end up in compulsory liquidation. Fortitude Foundation reaches directors at the early stage, when your advice is most valuable and your fees are most justifiable.
The insolvency profession has a perception problem. Many directors avoid seeking help because they associate insolvency practitioners with the end, not the beginning of a solution. Being visible as a Fortitude Foundation Partner positions your firm as approachable, supportive and focused on rescue rather than just process.
Fortitude Foundation's community extends well beyond directors in immediate crisis. Entrepreneurs building resilience, those who have been through failure and are rebuilding, and business owners who simply want to understand their options all represent future clients and referral sources.
The Numbers
- •Over 24,000 business insolvencies were recorded in the UK in 2024, the highest in over a decade.
- •Directors who seek restructuring advice within the first 3 months of financial difficulty are significantly more likely to achieve a rescue outcome.
- •R3 research shows that businesses could save an estimated 50,000 jobs per year if directors sought advice earlier.
How Fortitude Foundation Partnerships Work
Fortitude Foundation exists for one reason: to support entrepreneurs in crisis. That mission is non-negotiable, and it shapes everything about how we work with partners.
Our partnership model is built on a simple principle: organisations that genuinely help entrepreneurs should be visible to the entrepreneurs who need them. We verify every partner to ensure they offer legitimate, high-quality services. We do not accept partnerships from organisations whose interests conflict with the wellbeing of the entrepreneurs we serve. And we will never allow commercial relationships to influence the support, guidance or resources we provide to our community.
Partnership fees fund Fortitude Foundation's core mission: free peer support, crisis resources, and community for entrepreneurs who are struggling. When you become a partner, your contribution directly enables us to reach more founders, provide more support, and keep every resource free for the people who need it. That is the primary purpose of every pound we receive.
In return for funding our mission, partners receive visibility within our community as a verified, trusted organisation. This is not advertising. It is a curated, editorially independent directory of organisations we believe can genuinely help the entrepreneurs we serve. We will never pressure, incentivise or direct entrepreneurs towards any partner. We present options. Entrepreneurs make their own choices.
As a Fortitude Foundation Partner, you receive:
- Listing as a verified Fortitude Foundation Partner on our website, with your profile, logo and a direct link to your services
- Inclusion in Fortitude Foundation's resource library, so entrepreneurs seeking professional support in your area can find you alongside our independent guidance
- Opportunities to contribute genuinely useful content to our community: educational articles, guides, Q&A sessions or webinars that help entrepreneurs make better decisions. All content is editorially reviewed by Fortitude Foundation to ensure it serves entrepreneurs first
- Visibility across Fortitude Foundation's newsletter, social media and events as a supporting partner
- The knowledge that your partnership fees directly fund free crisis support, peer groups, and resources for entrepreneurs who have nowhere else to turn
We are selective about who we partner with because our community's trust is the only thing that makes Fortitude Foundation work. If you share our belief that entrepreneurs deserve better support, we would welcome a conversation about working together.
Be the firm that directors trust when they need restructuring guidance most.
