Lets face it, owning a business in the last couple of years has been tough – the covid-19 pandemic, rising interest rates and escalating costs across various sectors, including labour, materials, rent and utilities. These factors have made it difficult for a business to maintain financial stability and profitability. If your business is struggling, you should ask yourself one question? Are your accounts and lodgements up to date? If not, you should contact your accountant to bring these lodgements up to date and to see if they can assist you in managing your debt and achieving financial viability. Secondly, if your business is still struggling you should seek advice from a professional advisor to discuss your specific circumstances and options available. You should avoid a head in the sand approach. Ignoring financial difficulties will only make the situation worse. When you’re dealing with financial stress, it can be difficult to see the bigger picture and make rational decisions. Seeking guidance from an independent and trustworthy advisor can provide clarity and perspective, helping you make informed choices about your business. Be proactive in seeking guidance as earlier engagement often provides more options available and can help alleviate stress by providing solutions and a roadmap for dealing with your financial situation. Don’t delay in seeking help, the time to act is now! Please do not hesitate to contact our firm for a free, initial confidential consultation to discuss your options available.
