Financial distress does not always arrive with one obvious warning sign.

It may begin with BAS lodgements becoming less consistent, growing ATO debt, overdue superannuation, suppliers chasing payment or personal funds being introduced to keep the business operating.

The replay of Red Flags & Reality Checks: Understanding the 14 Indicia of Insolvency is now available.

Alice Ruhe explores the warning signs that may indicate a business is experiencing more than temporary cash flow pressure—and why you do not need to see all 14 indicators before serious concerns arise.

The session also covers director risk, common red flags, and the practical options available when financial distress is identified early.

Before a liquidator is appointed.
Before a statutory demand arrives.
Before a lender starts asking difficult questions.

An accountant has often already seen the warning signs.
A client starts lodging BAS later than usual.

The ATO debt grows.
Super falls behind.
Suppliers start chasing payment.

Personal funds are introduced to keep the business operating.
The challenge isn't always spotting the issue.

Sometimes it's knowing when a business is experiencing normal commercial pressure and when something more serious may be developing.

Those conversations can be difficult—but they're often the conversations that preserve the most options.

📅 In our webinar on 4 August, we'll explore the practical warning signs advisers should be watching for and what steps can be taken when concerns arise.

It feels like every week (day) we’re hearing about another business in financial trouble.

While the headlines tend to focus on the larger collapses, many small and medium-sized businesses are facing the same pressures - rising costs, tighter cash flow, increased ATO activity and growing creditor scrutiny. Often, the warning signs have been there for some time.

The challenge is knowing what to look for.

In this webinar, we will explore the 14 indicia of insolvency: the warning signs commonly considered when assessing whether a company may be insolvent. These indicators aren’t just relevant to insolvency practitioners; they’re valuable tools for accountants, advisers, directors and business owners who want to identify risk early and preserve options.

This session is designed to be practical, commercially focused and relevant to the issues many businesses are facing right now.

Because when it comes to insolvency, waiting for every warning light to come on is rarely the best strategy.

When enforcement becomes necessary, secured lenders need control, clarity, and commercial discipline from the outset.

At The Ruhe Group, we accept appointments as Receivers and Receivers & Managers across a range of asset classes and sectors.

Our receivership work is focused on taking control quickly, stabilising operations where appropriate, managing stakeholder complexity, and realising assets through transparent, commercially optimised processes.

For secured creditors, the objective is clear: preserve value, minimise uncertainty, and maintain visibility throughout the appointment.

If you are considering a receivership appointment or would like to discuss an enforcement scenario, contact The Ruhe Group for a confidential conversation.

One of the biggest misconceptions we come across is that all 14 indicia of insolvency need to be present before a company can be considered insolvent.

They don't.

In fact, sometimes only a handful of indicators can paint a very concerning picture.

Things like:
• Ongoing losses
• Falling behind on tax obligations
• Increasing creditor pressure
• Cash flow shortfalls
• Poor financial reporting

It's never about ticking boxes.
It's about understanding the commercial reality of what's happening inside the business.

By the time every warning light is flashing, the available options are often much more limited.
That's why early identification is so important.

📅 We'll be discussing how to recognise the difference between temporary pressure and genuine insolvency risk in our webinar, Red Flags & Reality Checks: Understanding the 14 Indicia of Insolvency, on 4 August.

Growth is exciting. Working capital is less photogenic — and usually more important.

Before we believe a bigger revenue number, I ask:
1. Can the business fund the growth before customers pay?
2. Does the margin still work when volume increases?
3. What breaks if the biggest customer pays 30 days late?

More sales can create more pressure when stock, wages, subcontractors and tax all need cash first.

Which question would change the conversation in your business most?
1, 2 or 3?
