FAQs
Mackay Goodwin's registered liquidators and trustees in bankruptcy review your situation and set out the realistic options, from payment plans to a Small Business Restructure, Voluntary Administration or liquidation. The earlier we're involved, the more options you have.
Watch for a growing tax debt, a Director Penalty Notice, unpaid super, creditors chasing payment, a statutory demand, or using one bill's money to pay another. If you can't pay debts as they fall due, get advice quickly.
A receiver is usually appointed by a secured creditor, such as a bank, to recover its debt from the assets it holds security over. A liquidator winds up the whole company, sells its assets, investigates its affairs and pays creditors before the company is deregistered.
An insolvency firm helps businesses and individuals who can't pay their debts. Registered liquidators and trustees run formal processes such as liquidation, Voluntary Administration and bankruptcy, and advise on options before it gets that far.
