Financial stress
Occasionally, business events spiral out of control and leave you feeling helpless. Debts may be mounting while income has possibly halted and you are desperately seeking the best way forward for yourself and your business.
Are you struggling to repay your debts? Have creditors taken legal action against your business? Are you having trouble keeping up with your employees’ wages and super payments?
Regardless of the circumstance, financial stress is painful and can lead to feelings of guilt and embarrassment. You may be concerned about personal guarantees, the risk of losing your home and the future of your family and business.
At this time of vulnerability, other advisors may offer advice that seems too good to be true or tell you to avoid creditors completely. We help you consider all options and consequences before advising you on the most appropriate action.
Across decades of successful insolvency and recovery practice, we have helped countless individuals, family-owned businesses, small to medium businesses, incorporated associations, not for profit organisations, professional advisors and their clients solve a range of problems and move forward from their financial stress.
