4. Special Situations, Restructuring & Business Recovery

Solutions for businesses navigating
financial pressure, transition and complexity.

Global Path Corporate Advisory works with business owners, directors and their professional advisers to assess financial distress, identify restructuring alternatives and develop commercially practical strategies designed to stabilise viable businesses, restructure obligations and preserve enterprise value.

Our approach brings together commercial analysis, restructuring strategy, capital solutions and transaction capability to help clients understand their options and determine an appropriate path forward.

Small Business
Restructuring

Commercial and strategic support for eligible businesses considering Australia's formal Small Business Restructuring process, working alongside appropriately qualified restructuring practitioners, accountants and legal advisers.

ATO & Creditor
Debt Strategy

Assessing taxation liabilities, creditor obligations and cash-flow pressures to identify potential restructuring, repayment, refinancing and recapitalisation pathways.

Business Turnaround
& Recovery

Developing practical financial, operational and capital strategies designed to stabilise fundamentally viable businesses and establish a sustainable pathway forward.

Restructuring &
Recapitalisation

Reviewing existing debt and capital structures and considering refinancing, recapitalisation, strategic investment and alternative capital solutions.

Refinancing &
Rescue Capital

Assessing commercial refinancing, working capital, private credit, asset-backed finance, property-backed finance and other capital solutions where new funding may support a restructuring strategy.

Strategic
Alternatives

Where restructuring or refinancing is not the appropriate solution, considering business sales, asset sales, strategic investment, mergers, joint ventures and other corporate alternatives.

Small Business Restructuring

A structured pathway for eligible businesses
facing financial distress.

Australia's Small Business Restructuring regime provides eligible companies with a formal process through which they may propose a restructuring of their debts while directors generally remain in control of the business during the restructuring process.

For a fundamentally viable business experiencing financial pressure, Small Business Restructuring may provide an alternative pathway to immediately entering voluntary administration or liquidation.

Global Path Corporate Advisory can work with business owners, directors and their existing professional advisers to assess the commercial position, understand potential restructuring pathways and coordinate the broader strategy alongside an appropriately qualified registered restructuring practitioner.

Remain Focused
on the Business

For eligible companies undertaking an SBR, directors generally remain in control while the formal restructuring process is undertaken.

Restructure
Eligible Debts

The formal process can provide eligible companies with an opportunity to propose a restructuring plan to creditors.

Build a Sustainable
Path Forward

The objective should extend beyond restructuring historical liabilities to establishing a commercially sustainable business after the restructure.

When should a business seek help?

Earlier action generally creates more options.

Financial distress does not always arrive as a single event. It can develop progressively through cash-flow pressure, taxation liabilities, creditor arrears, refinancing difficulties or declining profitability.

✓ Significant ATO debt
✓ Creditor pressure or overdue accounts
✓ Persistent cash-flow shortages
✓ Difficulty meeting loan repayments
✓ Refinancing pressure
✓ Working capital constraints
✓ Declining profitability
✓ Accumulating liabilities
✓ Threatened legal or recovery action
✓ Difficulty paying debts as they fall due

The earlier the underlying financial position is properly assessed, the greater the opportunity to consider available commercial and restructuring alternatives.

Business Viability & Financial Assessment

Understand the problem
before choosing the solution.

Before determining an appropriate restructuring strategy, it is important to understand whether the underlying business remains commercially viable.

✓ Historical financial performance
✓ Current management accounts
✓ Cash flow
✓ Underlying profitability
✓ ATO liabilities
✓ Trade creditors
✓ Secured debt
✓ Assets and liabilities
✓ Working capital requirements
✓ Available security
✓ Future trading capacity
✓ Existing capital structure
✓ Potential sources of new capital

The objective is to distinguish between a viable business experiencing financial pressure and a business requiring a more fundamental strategic solution.

Financial analysis and business assessment
Our Approach

From financial pressure to a
structured pathway forward.

04

05

✓ Commercial refinancing
