In a statement, the group said the business was strongly cash generative, “enabling funding of acquisition payments while reducing net debt”.

Ric Traynor, the executive chairman of Begbies Traynor Group, said: “We have had a year of further progress in developing the group and broadening its service offerings, with earnings in line with expectations.

“The results reflect a solid performance in business recovery together with the benefit of our diversification into property services, which now contributes approximately 30 per cent of the group’s revenue and profit, and is an important focus of our growth strategy.

“We remain the leading UK corporate appointment taker by volume and are well-positioned to take advantage of the cyclicality of this market.

“Looking forward, we anticipate a growth in earnings in the new financial year as the board continues to look for further opportunities to develop and enhance the business, both organically and through selective acquisitions.”
