Anticipating a spate of insolvencies this year as we continue to grapple with the economic fallout of the pandemic, William Buck has created a series of videos to demonstrate how our fully integrated model can save many of these businesses.
With the recent expiry of the temporary insolvency measures, and JobKeeper set to end in March, experts believe tens of thousands of businesses will collapse this year.
Combine this with the recent changes to the insolvency framework which will allow for the faster wind-up of some small businesses, and weโre likely looking at a significant spike in the number of failed businesses in 2021.
Of course, this will have a knock-on effect to the economy, driving an increase in bankruptcies and leaving many commercial landlords without tenants.
Sean Wengel, Director of William Buck Restructuring and Insolvency said this is why itโs important to seek advice from insolvency experts as soon as possible.
โSeeking advice as early as possible gives you the best chance at saving your business as well as your own financial liability if youโre a director of a struggling company or one that might be affected by the failure of others,โ said Sean.
โIn six monthsโ time, without help now, liquidation might be the only option.โ
William Buckโs Business Health and Recovery video series, which can be found on the William Buck website here, explains how the firmโs fully integrated service model offers something other insolvency firms canโt.
โWeโre able to draw on the full resources of the firmโs corporate advisory, business advisory, tax, wealth management and audit specialists to ensure a holistic approach to the restructure, sale or revival of your business,โ said Sean.
This ensures tax effectiveness, regulatory compliance, and far greater access to funding resources like private equity firms and personal investors that could step in and save the business.
