Testimonials like this mean so much to us - but we also know people want to understand the story behind them.
This case involved an Australian trade services business that had built a strong reputation over years of hard work and reinvestment. But a series of major external setbacks caused unexpected disruption, damaged assets and placed serious financial pressure on the business.
The underlying business was viable - but tightening cash flow and rising finance repayments made it impossible to recover under the existing structure.
We worked with the owner to put forward a Small Business Restructuring Plan that included an upfront contribution, structured instalments from future profits and a meaningful personal contribution. The offer returned just over 30 cents in the dollar to creditors - far better than liquidation - while keeping the business operating.
Jobs were preserved, equipment retained, and customer relationships protected. With improved job costing, overhead control and stronger financial management, the business is now trading sustainably with a renewed focus on profitability.
A great outcome for the business, its people and its creditors.
