The story

Close Easy was founded in 2025 by three directors who had themselves been on the receiving end of a liquidation. The product is a narrow vertical SaaS workflow tool for UK insolvency practitioners — a director-facing portal plus case-manager checklists for pre-appointment CVL/MVL/administration/CVA work (explicitly not IVAs). Its go-to-market is deep partnership with existing insolvency ecosystem players (Turnkey IPS, Aryza, Compliance Alliance, Nova Consultants, Red Flag Alert) rather than owning any regulated financial infrastructure itself.
