What Is Business Debt Lead Generation?
Business debt lead generation is how we find company directors and business owners who are worried about company debt and turn them into direct enquiries for your firm. At PromoSEO, we build that pipeline through organic search, paid advertising and conversion-focused landing pages, framed as general information rather than advice.
We target the searches directors use when a company is under pressure, from "can't pay HMRC VAT bill" to "company voluntary arrangement" and "how to liquidate a limited company", and capture them through your Google rankings and paid campaigns. Each enquiry arrives by call, web form or LinkedIn message and is logged the moment it lands.
The result is a steady stream of enquiries your firm owns outright, rather than a shared listing that resells the same director to several competitors. We never imply your firm is FCA-authorised or that a debt can be written off, because that depends on the case. Get in touch to see how many business debt enquiries we can generate for your firm.
How Much Do Business Debt Leads Cost?
Business debt leads typically cost from around £30 to £90 per qualified lead, depending on the debt solution and how competitive the term is. A general company debt enquiry sits at the lower end, while a director actively researching a CVA or administration commands more because the case value and the client's intent are higher.
Two pricing models are common: pay per lead, where you are charged for each qualified enquiry, and a monthly management fee across Google Ads and SEO where you keep every lead generated. What drives the figure is search competition, the debt level involved, whether the enquiry is personal or corporate, and how tightly we qualify each one against your criteria.
These are indicative ranges to confirm on a call, not fixed prices, because business debt cost per lead varies by solution type and by how heavily HMRC and CAP advertising rules restrict paid channels. Request a free quote and we will size it around the cases you take on.
| Business debt enquiry type | Indicative cost per lead | Typical case value to the firm |
|---|---|---|
| General company debt advice | £30 to £50 | £1,500 to £5,000 |
| HMRC arrears / Time to Pay | £35 to £60 | £1,500 to £6,000 |
| Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) | £50 to £90 | £5,000 to £15,000 |
| Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) | £45 to £80 | £4,000 to £12,000 |
Indicative figures for guidance only, confirmed at campaign planning. Case value depends on the firm's fee structure and the work involved.
What Types of Business Debt Leads Does PromoSEO Generate?
PromoSEO generates business debt leads across every core solution line, from early HMRC arrears to formal insolvency processes. We match each campaign to the work you actually take on, so a firm that only handles corporate insolvency is not sent personal debt enquiries or cases outside its remit.
- HMRC arrears and Time to Pay: directors behind on VAT, PAYE, National Insurance or Corporation Tax who want to negotiate a repayment arrangement with HMRC.
- Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA): directors of viable companies looking to repay creditors over a set term while continuing to trade.
- Company liquidation: Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) and members' voluntary liquidation enquiries, handled by a licensed insolvency practitioner through our liquidation lead generation.
- Administration and restructuring: companies seeking protection from creditors, a pre-pack sale, or a formal restructuring plan.
- Cash flow and invoice finance: businesses exploring invoice factoring and asset-based lending to ease short-term pressure.
- Director support: personal guarantee worries, director redundancy claims and bounce back loan arrears enquiries.
Are PromoSEO's Business Debt Leads Exclusive or Shared?
PromoSEO's business debt leads are exclusive, which means every enquiry we generate goes to your firm alone and is never resold to three or four competitors like the shared debt lead marketplaces some directors are passed around by.
Exclusivity matters more in business debt than in most sectors. A director dealing with company debt is anxious and often embarrassed, so being contacted by five firms at once erodes trust fast. When you are the only insolvency or restructuring adviser they speak to, and you reach them within minutes on a real-time lead, conversion typically runs two to three times higher than a shared enquiry chased by several firms.

What Marketing Channels Does PromoSEO Use to Generate Business Debt Leads?
PromoSEO generates business debt leads through four main channels: search engine optimisation, Google Ads, LinkedIn and content marketing, combined so you are not reliant on any single source or on one platform's advertising policy.
SEO builds lasting rankings for terms like "can't pay Corporation Tax" and "company voluntary arrangement advice", where directors research quietly before they call. Google Ads captures urgent, high-intent searches, though debt and insolvency ads must clear Google's financial services policy and CAP rules first. LinkedIn reaches company directors and referrers such as accountants directly, and retargeting brings back visitors who read a guide but did not enquire.
We track every call and form back to its channel, so budget follows the campaigns producing the cheapest qualified business debt leads. Ask us which channel mix suits the debt solutions your firm handles.
How Are Business Debt Leads Qualified Before They Reach You?
Every business debt lead is qualified against your criteria before it reaches you: whether it is a corporate or personal debt, the company structure, the approximate debt level, the solution the director is asking about and that the contact details are genuine. Enquiries that fall outside your remit are filtered out.
We screen for the cases you take on, so a corporate insolvency firm is not sent personal IVA enquiries, and confirm the enquiry is a UK limited company, partnership or sole trader that fits your service. Phone leads are checked against missed-call and spam patterns, and web enquiries are validated for complete details before delivery to your phone or CRM.
You agree the qualification rules up front, and we review any lead that falls short of them. We keep the qualification factual and never promise a director that a debt can be reduced or written off, because that decision rests with your licensed insolvency practitioner and the creditors.
How Fast Can PromoSEO Start Sending Business Debt Leads?
Most business debt campaigns start delivering enquiries within two to four weeks of launch. Paid channels like Google Ads can produce leads within days once financial services verification and ad approval clear, while SEO builds steadily over four to six months into your largest long-term source.
We move at setup: campaign build, call tracking and compliant landing pages in the first week, then ad approval and lead delivery. Because insolvency and debt ads face extra checks under Google's policy and CAP guidance, we allow time for that verification rather than promising same-day paid traffic. Leads arrive in real time by call, email or CRM push, so you can respond while the director is still deciding what to do.
Speed of response matters as much as speed of setup, since a worried director rarely waits. Contact us to get your business debt campaign live this quarter.
What Return on Investment Can Business Debt Firms Expect?
Business debt firms working with PromoSEO typically see £4 to £8 back for every £1 spent once campaigns mature, based on a case value of £1,500 to £15,000 and a lead-to-instruction conversion rate of 15% to 30% on exclusive enquiries.
The maths is straightforward: a £60 CVA enquiry that converts one instruction in five still returns a case worth several thousand pounds in fees. Higher-value corporate insolvency and restructuring work lifts the return further, while faster response, a clear consultation process and steady lead conversion push your instruction rate up.
These figures are indicative and depend on your fee structure, close rate and follow-up, which is why we track cost per lead and cost per instruction from day one. We do not guarantee case numbers or outcomes; ask for a projection built around your firm's own figures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you generate leads for both corporate and personal business debt?
Yes. We can target company debt solutions like CVAs, liquidation and administration, or personal debt where a director is affected, and route each enquiry to the correct category so you only receive the cases your firm handles.
Are your business debt campaigns compliant with advertising rules?
We keep ad copy and landing pages factual and within CAP and ASA guidance for debt and insolvency advertising. We do not imply FCA authorisation, promise to write off debt, or guarantee outcomes, and formal advice stays with your firm.
What happens if a business debt lead is not genuine or out of scope?
We agree the qualification criteria up front, filter enquiries against them, and review any lead that clearly falls short, such as a personal-only or wrong-solution enquiry, so you spend your time on cases you can actually take on.
Can business debt leads be sent to my CRM or case management system?
Yes. Leads are delivered in real time by call, email and web form, and can be pushed into most CRMs and case management tools, so every director enquiry is logged and followed up quickly.
How many business debt leads can you generate a month?
Volume depends on search demand, budget and how strict the ad checks are, but most business debt campaigns build to between 15 and 60 qualified enquiries a month. We give you a realistic projection for your firm before you commit.
