Business Recovery Services
Step back from financial stress and regain control
Whether it’s market shifts, unforeseen expenses or operational hurdles, unexpected challenges can put your company’s future at risk. Our focus is on stabilising viable businesses and helping them return to profitability, rather than defaulting to liquidation as the first option.
What is business recovery?
Even the strongest companies can face unexpected pressures – from cash flow and creditor demands to ATO notices. Business recovery provides a structured, proactive approach to stabilise your business, protect directors and stakeholders and return operations to profitability wherever possible.
Our team provides an independent perspective, clear guidance and practical strategies to help businesses navigate turbulent periods with confidence and clarity.
Early intervention can make all the difference
Don’t let stress define your business’s future. Here are some signs to consider business recovery services:
- Persistent cash flow or revenue stress
- Accruing or overdue tax obligations
- Director Penalty Notices (DPNs) from the ATO
- Ongoing pressure from creditors
- Difficulty securing loans or finance
- Loss of key clients, customers, or employees
- Warning letters, statutory demands, or other legal notices

FAQs
Can my business actually be saved?
Many businesses can recover with timely intervention. Our team evaluates your company’s financial position, cash flow and operational structure to determine the best path forward. While every situation is unique, early professional guidance significantly increases the chances of preserving your company and protecting director and shareholder interests.
When should I seek business recovery advice?
It’s best to act as soon as you notice financial pressure, such as persistent cash flow issues, creditor demands or ATO debt. Early engagement provides more options, reduces the risk of personal liability for directors and allows your business to explore recovery pathways before challenges escalate.
What costs are involved in business recovery?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of your business and the solutions implemented. We provide clear, upfront guidance so you understand potential fees and outcomes. Our approach focuses on maximising value for your company while keeping interventions practical and cost-effective.
Am I eligible for business recovery services?
Business recovery is suitable for companies that are viable with support, experiencing operational or financial stress but not irretrievably insolvent. Even if debt or creditor pressure is mounting, we assess the options to determine whether a structured recovery plan can protect the business and its stakeholders.
How does business recovery help with ATO debt and creditor pressure?
Our team negotiates with the ATO and other creditors to manage debts and restructure repayment plans where possible. By creating a clear strategy, we reduce pressure on directors, minimise legal risks and help protect relationships with creditors while giving your business room to stabilise.
What are my responsibilities as a director during business recovery?
Directors maintain legal duties during recovery, including ensuring compliance with corporate obligations and avoiding insolvent trading. Our experts guide you step by step, helping you understand risks, communicate with creditors and make decisions that balance operational recovery with personal and corporate protection.
