Insolvent Trading & Director Liability
Director Personal Liability Protection — Expert Guidance
Under the Corporations Act 2001, directors have a duty to prevent their company from incurring debts when it is insolvent or likely to become insolvent. A director who allows a company to trade while insolvent may be personally liable for the debts incurred during that period — including compensation claims from creditors and liquidators.
If you are a director of a company that is experiencing financial difficulty, expert guidance may help you understand your obligations, assess your exposure to insolvent trading liability, and determine what steps may be taken to reduce personal risk.

Real Stories From Clients We’ve Helped
Labour Hire Contracting (saved $90,250)
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.
Cafe & Hospitality (saved $152,071)
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.
Concrete Construction (saved $331,404)
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 — continuing to trade has been absolutely life-changing. Very easy, a lot easier than anticipated. Extremely happy with the whole team.
Retail & Tutoring (saved $330,000)
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.
