Debt Advice

Don't worry, you're not on your own!
If your business is struggling with cash flow or more fundamental financial problems, don't wait till you get swamped with debt. You can minimise your debt burden and take control by:

  • calculating your total debt
  • deciding how much you can afford to repay each month
  • negotiating with creditors
  • tackling any priority debts first, e.g. rent, rates or utilities
  • talking to people who understand business
