Fast, cost effective options
When a company experiences a period of poor performance and moves into a period of a financial recovery, it's called a turnaround.
There's two main mechanisms for business turnaround, but there's informal workouts that may also be a good fit.
OPTION 1
An insolvency expert helps the directors to look at their company debts & negotiate an easier pay back plan
On your behalf, the insolvency expert deals with creditors to agree on delayed payments, reduced payments or debt
Oversees the dividend process while directors continue to manage their day-to-day business
OPTION 2
Directors can collaborate with an insolvency expert (with them taking the reins) to craft a strategy to satisfy the company’s debts.
Gives directors a pathway to address any insolvency issues and return to a healthy trading prospect with creditor support.
Restructure company operations to new & changing market conditions
In the current times, countless businesses are in a situation of having high-debt levels, lower than usual sales volume, or are in a dispute with creditors, debtors, or the landlord.
If your business has solid fundamentals and you/the owners are willing to do what’s needed to turnaround the business— there are formal options to give it a bright future.

FAQs
Directors must be aware of “insolvent trading” laws that can have substantial penalties or implications. If your business is insolvent, it is best to touch base with Worrells to discuss what can be done legally to save your business and to understand what your rights and obligations are.
Voluntary administration allows businesses to address insolvency issues, and if possible, return it to healthy trading position. This is usually available to directors who are proactive when they see their company is in financial trouble. The voluntary administration process ensures that the business, the company’s assets and affairs are administered in a way that (among other things) maximises the chances of a business continuing to exist by a voluntary administrator taking control as if they are the company directors. The administration process takes place over an interim period, usually lasting between 20 and 30 business days.
The main criteria are:
the company’s total liabilities do not exceed $1 million (liability is taken to mean any liability or obligation, including contingent debts);
no director (or former director in the last 12 months) has been a director in the last 7 years of a company that has used the simplified liquidation or debt restructuring processes; and
the company’s tax lodgments are up to date; and
employee entitlements are paid up to date.
