Small Business Restructuring (SBR) is a formal insolvency process introduced under the Corporations Act 2001 that allows eligible small businesses to restructure their obligations while the directors remain in control of the company. A registered restructuring practitioner is appointed to assist in developing a restructuring plan that is presented to creditors for approval.
If your company is experiencing financial difficulty and meets the eligibility criteria, expert guidance may help determine whether Small Business Restructuring offers the most appropriate and cost-effective path to resolving your obligations and continuing to trade.
Free consultation. No upfront fees.
Serving businesses across Australia.

Unlike Voluntary Administration, directors usually remain in control of the company while the small business restructuring process is underway.
A small business restructuring plan may allow eligible companies to compromise creditor debts and repay an agreed amount over time.
For eligible businesses, overdue GST, PAYG, and superannuation arrears may be addressed through a small business restructuring plan.
The process may provide temporary protection from certain unsecured creditor recovery action while the restructuring plan is being developed.
To be eligible, the company must meet the applicable criteria, including liability thresholds and required tax lodgements.
Small business restructuring is designed to be a faster and more cost-effective option than Voluntary Administration for eligible businesses.

Company tax obligation due to covid and related issues. We were really trying to find a solution to get on top of it but didn't know where to start. After the SBR process the company tax debt was reduced, stress dropped, we had an appropriate plan, and we were able to continue to trade. Very fast, efficient, very easy. I would definitely recommend it.
Company tax obligations in the food industry kept building due to Covid. We didn't know how to stop it. After the process it was reduced, we paid off the agreed amount, cash flow improved, and we're still trading with a great business now. Very simple, well-managed and easy. I've already recommended it to others.
Company tax debt due to covid and non-compliant payment plans with the ATO. We didn't know how to stop the pressure building. Working with the team gave us better cash flow and healthier money management β continuing to trade has been absolutely life-changing. Very easy, a lot easier than anticipated. Extremely happy with the whole team.
The team made it easy. Reducing the tax made things a little easier and elevated the stress off our shoulders. Fantastic team. I'd recommend them to any and every one that I know.
