Common triggers include things like sudden loss of a major customer or contract, key staff departures, cash-flow paralysis, rising debt and cost pressures. Recognising the signs early gives you more options to act before formal insolvency becomes necessary. To learn more, visit our article >>
Yes. RSM’s “Corporate Insolvency Solutions and Business Turnaround Advice” page highlights that alternatives such as voluntary business recovery, small business restructuring plans, Safe Harbour protection for directors, or negotiating with creditors can often preserve more value and outcomes than immediately entering liquidation. Learn more >>
Safe Harbour is a provision under the Corporations Act that allows directors to continue trading while seeking professional advice, and helps protect them from personal liability for debts incurred during that period. Acting early to appoint a Safe Harbour advisor can create breathing-room rather than defaulting directly into insolvency. More information can be found here >>
Not necessarily. Liquidation is sometimes the best structured exit. Even then, the process is more than winding up assets—it’s about minimising damage, preserving dignity and enabling fresh starts for people involved. In many cases, formal insolvency is a last resort rather than the first move. Learn more >>
The key steps are:
- Seek advice early — the sooner you act, the more options you retain.
- Review your business viability — assess cash flow, obligations, debt levels, and key dependencies.
- Explore restructuring or winding-down options — small business restructure, Safe Harbour, voluntary administration, etc.
- Communicate with key stakeholders (lenders, creditors, staff) and develop a plan rather than waiting for enforcement.
Absolutely. RSM’s materials emphasise that these strategies apply to businesses of all sizes, including SMEs and not-for-profits. For example, the Safe Harbour article explicitly references SMEs and NFP directors facing financial stress.
The fact you operate in a regional area (Mackay/North Qld) doesn’t exclude you from these options — what matters is acting promptly and getting specialist support.

Additional insights
We help thousands of Australians each year resolve their debt and take back control. There are many options able to be tailored to your individual circumstances before considering personal insolvency.
If your debt is out of control, then take the first step and reach out for help.
Sometimes the best option is to close your business. If we assess your company as no longer viable, we’ll guide you through the business liquidation process, from selling off assets to pay your creditors to winding up the company to minimise losses. Taking action early will give owners and employees the opportunity to move forward as soon as possible.
Safe harbour is an additional defence to a claim by a liquidator or creditor against a director personally, for debts incurred by the company while it was insolvent.
It provides an exception to the rule that a company cannot continue trading if it is insolvent.
Asset protection is the use of smart, legal strategies to protect your assets. Most people have insurance to protect against risk, but no insurance can cover every possible scenario, and you may not know which insurances are needed to protect against the unique risks you face.
