What We Do<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are licensed debt help professionals, with a mission to help people understand their options for dealing with debt. At Sands & Associates we specialize in filing bankruptcies and making debt proposals for both individuals and small business owners \u2013 known as Consumer Proposals. Our Proposal Administrators and Licensed Insolvency Trustees (formerly known as Trustees in Bankruptcy) are fully licensed and qualified by the Federal Government to administer the legal remedies available under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act<\/em>, and we are proud to have a large, and growing, team of Qualified Insolvency Counsellors and Insolvency Estate Managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recognize there are many situations that can make visiting our offices in person challenging, and we\u2019re here to help you with a streamlined process in the manner that is most comfortable and convenient for you. Sands & Associates can take you from consultation to debt-free all from home, or from your local office. Our debt help, Consumer Proposal and bankruptcy services are easily accessible by telephone or video conference anywhere in BC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why We Are Different<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, \u201cour strength is our people.\u201d We are proud to be locally owned and operated and we are committed to the communities we serve. Our team is comprised of individuals who are passionate about helping people achieve a financial fresh start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial stress and the situations that cause it do not define you<\/em> – we believe that money problems can happen to anyone and we pride ourselves on our non-judgmental and empathetic approach to helping people. We want to ensure that everyone who reaches out to us is given great service, expert debt help about their situation, and treated with respect and understanding in every interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are not a large, national accounting firm that focuses on corporate clients and just happens to do Personal Bankruptcy and Consumer Proposals too. We believe that our focus on helping individuals and small businesses in financial difficulty sets us apart and has helped us become the firm of choice within BC for Consumer Proposals<\/a>, Personal Bankruptcy<\/a> and debt consolidation services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
