Trading Trust Insolvency

Insolvent Trading Trust β€” Expert Guidance

A trading trust operates when a trustee β€” often a company β€” conducts business on behalf of a trust. When the trustee company becomes insolvent, the situation involves complex legal issues around the trust's assets, the trustee's right of indemnity, creditor claims, and the ongoing obligations of both the trustee and the trust's beneficiaries.

If your trading trust is experiencing financial difficulty or the corporate trustee is insolvent, expert guidance may help determine the most appropriate course of action to protect trust assets, manage creditor obligations, and navigate the insolvency process under Australian law.

Real Stories From Clients We’ve Helped

ATO Winding-Up Application Dismissed

We were facing a winding-up application from the ATO with less than 3 weeks to respond. The practitioner we were connected with moved quickly, negotiated a payment arrangement, and had the application dismissed. Couldn't have done it without them.

David K., NSW, Construction Business Owner

Garnishee Notice Lifted

Our BAS had been overdue for over a year and the ATO had issued a garnishee notice on our bank account. The specialist we were matched with had it lifted within days and helped us get back on track with a payment plan.

Michael C., Transport Business Owner, WA

Multiple Creditor Pressure β€” Still Trading

Our business was under serious creditor pressure from multiple suppliers at once. The restructuring specialist helped us negotiate settlements with each creditor and set up a manageable repayment plan. We're still trading today.
