Creditor and Stakeholder Negotiations
Our team negotiates on your behalf between the business’s stakeholders and creditors. Working with both parties to reduce financial risks, provide stability, and develop an actionable plan to turn the business around.
Safe Harbour
Safe Harbour (2017) is part of the Corporations Act. It protects directors from claims of insolvent trading as long as they adhere to a formal restructuring plan. At Mackay Goodwin, working as your restructuring partner, we’ll develop a strategy and a concrete plan for you to follow, setting business recovery on the rails while maintaining your legal protection afforded by the Safe Harbour provisions.
Operational Improvements
If your business urgently needs operational improvements, the sooner you get in touch, the sooner we can move you forward. Our step-by-step methodological approach makes for excellent turnaround management:
- Identifying key financial strains,
- Developing a strategy to improve processes,
- Focusing on the profitability of operations,
- Reviewing products and markets to assess their viability,
- Finding avenues for cost reductions,
- Identifying skill and resource gaps in the management team and advice on how to fill the gaps,
- Disposing of underperforming and non-core businesses. Finding solutions for affected businesses.
Voluntary Administration
Unsure if your business can stay financially afloat? We’ve helped many businesses enter into voluntary administration, with a view of continuing through a Deed Of Company Arrangement (DOCA). This enables your company to move forward while coming to an agreement on how to pay its creditors their dues.
Voluntary administration can give you the breathing space and structure you need to continue trading in a viable way, with a plan to bring your business back to profitability. Voluntary Administration provides an appropriate solution for viable businesses who are undergoing financial distress.
Small Business Restructure
Debt can be very stressful, especially if you are a small business. If the debt is less than $1 million, we can help minimize its impact on your business with the Small Business Restructure program. More cost-effective, simpler and quicker than Voluntary Administration, it allows small businesses to restructure their debts and remain in control.
We've helped hundreds of Australian businesses recover from debt and thrive:

Director Penalty Notice (DPN)
A Director Penalty Notice is a notice issued by the Australian Tax Office (ATO) notifying the director/s they may be personally liable for the company’s tax debts.
After receiving a DPN, the best course of action is to contact an insolvency expert to take over the process.
