In recent years, Australian businesses have been hit with a perfect storm of pressures. Additionally, the natural ebb and flow of business means some sectors experience challenges at various times of their life cycle.

The hallmarks of a business requiring restructuring and risk advice are often evident – difficulty paying suppliers, inability to attract and retain staff – or remunerate them appropriately, loss of key contracts, and failure to identify new channels for growth and expansion.

For business owners, engaging with specialists who can independently and objectively assess the structure and performance of a business can have a tangible impact on its future viability. Restructuring & risk advisory professionals can also develop and implement a comprehensive recovery plan, ensuring vastly improved systems and processes as well as build value and trust.

Timing too, is everything. The sooner risks are identified and managed, the higher the likelihood the health of the business can be restored and normal trading resume.

For business owners seeking a solution to a downturn in performance or growth, a formal review of risks can negate a potential restructure. Assessing the structure of a business through a qualified, expert lens will help to ensure the business is well-positioned to identify risk and take advantage of future opportunities.

In instances where risks cannot be mitigated or business restructuring is not possible, HLB Mann Judd offers corporate and personal insolvency solutions.
