THE BOOKS THEY

WHY THESE BOOKS EXIST
I wrote these books because I was angry. Full stop.
Angry that banks can freeze your account with no warning and no explanation. Angry that the insolvency industry profits from your failure. Angry that viable businesses get declined for funding every single day while the banks sit on billions.
I’ve been on the receiving end of all of it. I’ve been refused funding for profitable businesses just because I was in an unpopular sector. I’ve had accounts frozen, my money locked up with no answers while I can’t pay my staff. I’ve dealt with insolvency practitioners who invent work to allow them to bill extortionate fees, punishing me at the expense of the creditors they have a legal duty to protect.
And when my businesses hit the wall in 2008, there was no manual. No one to tell me what to do. No one to show me how to stabilise, renegotiate, and rebuild.
These books are the weapons I wish I’d had. They’re the knowledge that cost me millions to acquire — and I’m giving it all to you. Nothing is held back. Because nobody should lose their business playing a game where the rules are rigged against them.
WHAT READERS SAY
“Declined should be mandatory reading for every business owner before they even walk into a bank. It would have saved me two years of wasted time and rejected applications.”
“I had my accounts frozen with £340K inside. Frozen gave me the exact playbook to get my money back. I wish I'd read it before it happened.”
“Rigged opened my eyes to an industry I trusted blindly. When my business hit trouble, I knew exactly what to do — and what NOT to do. It saved my company.”
“We were 3 weeks from closing the doors. Tough Times Toolkit gave me the exact triage process to stabilise, renegotiate everything, and buy time. Six months later we're profitable again.”
