FAQs

How can voluntary administration help a business under pressure?

Voluntary administration provides immediate breathing space from creditor action while an independent administrator assesses the business. For Sydney businesses facing enforcement or ATO action, it can create time to restructure operations, negotiate debt compromises, or propose a DOCA that delivers a better outcome than liquidation.

The right time is often earlier than most people think. If your business is experiencing ongoing cashflow stress, ATO arrears, creditor pressure, or difficulty meeting obligations as they fall due, early corporate insolvency advice can open up options like small business restructuring or informal workouts before court action or forced liquidation occurs.

Yes. Many insolvency firms advise on personal insolvency matters alongside corporate issues, particularly where directors have guarantees or personal exposure. Getting coordinated advice helps ensure business and personal decisions align, reducing unintended consequences and providing clarity during a stressful period.

No. Liquidation is only one outcome. Our insolvency firm in Sydney prioritises business recovery where viable. Depending on your circumstances, options such as voluntary administration, a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA) or small business restructuring may allow the business to stabilise, continue trading and address debts in an orderly way.
