Trading Trust Insolvency

Insolvent Trading Trust — Expert Guidance

A trading trust operates when a trustee — often a company — 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

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.
