RIGGED
How the Insolvency Industry Profits From Your Failure — And How to Stop Them
When a business hits trouble, the insolvency industry is supposed to help. Rescue. Restructure. Recover. That’s the theory. The reality is very different.
Rigged exposes a multi-billion pound industry where practitioners are paid by the hour with no cap, where the longer your case takes the more they earn, and where the people advising you on rescue are financially incentivised to push you into liquidation. Matt Haycox names the practices, exposes the conflicts, and gives you the weapons to protect yourself from an industry that profits from your worst day.
THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED
Perverse Incentives
IPs earn more the longer your case drags on. Speed is their enemy.
Hidden Fee Structures
Time-based billing with no cap, no oversight, and no accountability.
Conflicts of Interest
The same people advising you on rescue are incentivised to liquidate.
HMRC Collusion
A relationship between IPs and HMRC that prioritises their interests over yours.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
12 chapters exposing the insolvency industry and arming you with alternatives.
WHY THEY TRIED TO BAN THIS BOOK
“When I announced Rigged, I received legal threats from two insolvency firms and a strongly-worded letter from a professional body suggesting I was ‘undermining public confidence in the profession.’ Good. That was the point.”
“The insolvency industry relies on business owners not understanding how it works. The less you know, the more they can charge. The more confused you are, the less likely you are to challenge them. This book ends that information asymmetry.”
WHAT READERS SAY
“My IP billed £180K in fees on a company with £400K in assets. After reading Rigged, I understood exactly how they'd gamed the system. I wish I'd had this book 12 months earlier — it would have saved my company.”
“Rigged is the most important business book I've ever read. Not because it's inspiring — because it's terrifying. And because it gives you the tools to protect yourself from an industry designed to profit from your worst moment.”
“As a turnaround specialist, I've seen everything Matt describes in this book. The difference is, he's put it all in one place and made it accessible to the business owners who need it most. Essential reading.”
