Business · Liquidation Risk

You've received a Section 345 demand. You have 21 days. Use them.

A Section 345 demand is a formal legal step that — if ignored — deems your company unable to pay its debts and opens the door to a liquidation application. This is not a letter to file away. KLS helps you respond correctly and decisively.

Business · Business Rescue

Is your business under pressure but still worth rescuing?

When creditors, payroll, SARS, suppliers, or liquidation threats start closing in, directors need a viability assessment before options disappear. KLS checks whether rescue, liquidation response, negotiation, or another stabilization route fits.
