Notice Information

Notice Title

Request for Information - MaPS Debt Advice Commissioning - Business Debt

Notice Description

The Money and Pensions Service, (MaPS) is an arm's-length body, sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions, with a joint commitment to ensure information, guidance and advice is provided to members of the public in the clearest and most cost-effective way. MaPS has gathered significant insight into the needs and preferences of people who use, or may find value in, personal debt advice services. This insight is augmented by the raft of high-quality evidence produced by the broader debt advice sector which has been made available to us for review. One area in which MaPS has less information, however, relates to the needs and preferences of those people whose problem business debt overlaps with their personal financial situation. MaPS' interest in business debts advice is restricted by its statutory remit which means that we are only permitted to fund advice for those individuals who have problems with debts they are personally liable for (regardless of the nature/purpose of these debts) and who derive income from self-employment. Before the commissioning process, we are seeking insight from any organisation who could add to MaPS' understanding of this cohort of debt advice/potential debt advice customers.
