Corporate Advisory

Navigate the complexities of business growth with our corporate advisory services. We help you secure capital, strategise for sustainable development, and connect with the right stakeholders, ensuring your business is well-positioned for success. Our services include corporate debt restructuring, which helps you reorganise your financial obligations to better manage cash flow and operational costs.

With our guidance, you'll gain insights into making informed decisions that propel your business forward and access the tools and resources needed to achieve your objectives efficiently.

Restructuring Your Business

Discover the power of a small business restructure and company restructure with Mackay Goodwin. Our strategies streamline operations, improve profitability, and lead your business to long-term success. By reorganising your company's structure and processes, we can help you adapt to market changes more quickly, reduce costs, and enhance operational efficiency, paving the way for improved growth and profitability.

We offer voluntary administrationexpertise, which gives your business a moment to pause and plan for what comes next. With voluntary administration, you can work with our insolvency experts to find a new direction for your business.

One option we explore during restructuring to aim for optimal turnaround success is the deed of company arrangement (DOCA). This agreement is between your business and its creditors on how to satisfy the company’s debts. It’s a path that gives your business the best chance to keep running while ensuring creditors see a return on what they are owed. However, it's important to understand that a DOCA is just one of several outcomes of a restructuring process and isn't a guaranteed step in every voluntary administration.

Navigating Insolvency

Insolvency doesn’t have to mean the end. Our insolvency services aim to maximise value, minimise risk, and explore every avenue for business recovery. Understanding when to seek help can be the key to turning things around. If you're encountering any of these signs, it's crucial to act swiftly and get in touch:

  • Received a Director Penalty Notice (DPN).
  • A noticeable downturn in cash flow or revenue.
  • Accruing and overdue tax debt.
  • Difficulty borrowing funds.
  • Hassling creditor calls over unpaid invoices.
  • Warning letters such as a Statutory Demand or Director Penalty Notices.
  • Losing key stakeholders like clients or employees.
  • PAYG and Superannuation Tax Issues.
