Guides to Fees.

This page hosts the Creditors' Guides to Insolvency Practitioners' Fees published by R3 in conjunction with the IPA and ICAEW. These are the documents most often referenced from our engagement letters, SIP 9 disclosures, and creditor correspondence.

Current versions and superseded archive versions are both available. If you have received correspondence from us referring you here, the relevant guide is below.

Creditors' Guides to Insolvency Practitioners' Fees

Statement of Insolvency Practice 9 (SIP 9) requires insolvency practitioners to provide creditors with information about how fees are determined and what creditors can do if they are dissatisfied. The Creditors' Guides published by R3 in conjunction with the IPA and ICAEW serve as the standard explanatory note required by SIP 9.

Each guide is procedure-specific. The version applicable to each appointment is the version in effect on the date the office holder agreed to act — so the current version applies for appointments after 1 April 2021; otherwise see the archive below.

Superseded versions

Superseded guide versions remain applicable for appointments where the office holder agreed to act before the current version's effective date. If you are a creditor in an appointment that started before 1 April 2021, the relevant guide may be one of the archived versions.

Additional archived versions for Administrators, Liquidators, and Trustees can be added over time. The architecture supports unlimited archive entries following the same URL convention.

Speak with us about a specific case

The creditors' guides cover the framework. They cannot answer case-specific questions — whether the fee being charged is reasonable, what your rights are in the procedure, or how to raise a concern. We are happy to engage with creditors and other interested parties directly. Free initial conversation, no obligation.
