FACT: Many businesses fail. There are many reasons why a business fails or why a company declares bankruptcy. Most business bankruptcy happens because debt owed to secured creditors like banks and lenders or unsecured debt owed to vendors, suppliers and/or the government becomes unmanageable.
Things to Consider:
- Bankruptcy vs. Receivership?
- Receivership vs. Division 1 Proposal?
- Creditor Proposal vs. Bankruptcy?
The decision you make for your business really depends upon what options it has available to restructure, reorganize and repay its creditors. Getting help or advice is important to make sure that you have explored all of your options.
Listen now to learn more about bankruptcy, receivership and creditor proposals.

"Every dollar we spent has to count right now"
Every business today is in the people business. Entrepreneurs often overlook the opportunities locked up in the people that are working for them or with them. A business can find new revenue or improvements to their margin by engaging the people that are actually doing the work. In my experience, an entrepreneur will pay close attention to the people in their business when times get tough and when every dollar has to count. It's unfortunate but the reality is that limited money and resources force creativity which becomes the catalyst for changes and improvements. Where is the best place to find creativity? From the people in your business.
