    26. What is Bankruptcy and what does a Trustee do?

    Make no mistake, bankruptcy and liquidation are separate. Bankruptcy may be a result for you if there is a liquidation of your company, but in Australia, the company itself cannot go bankrupt. Only you can, as bankruptcy applies to personal debt. Find out how this applies and when. What is the job of a bankruptcy trustee and when should you contact one? When should someone contact the Australian Financial Security Administration (AFSA) versus trying to find a private bankruptcy trustee? All this and more as we continue our talk with Director’s Advocate Cheryl Stainsby. For more discussions on bankruptcy and what it means for those who file it, be sure to tune in to Cheryl Stainsby's new 'Deep Dive' podcast: Surviving Bankruptcy.

    22. Wind Up applications - What happens if just goes to the keeper?

    Some untrustworthy advisors might tell the director of a business business (with a Windup application against it) just to let it go... Cheryl Stainsby feels you should try and stay in control where possible. What are your rights, what the the options, rather than letting things just happen to you? Understand your position, what must you do and what can you refuse - what do you do when someone comes asking for assets. What information must you hand over and to whom?

    21. Windup applications and Ambulance Chasers

    Ok, so you've ignored it, you never got any letters or emails, or they really want their money back now, or things have gone legal in a big way. Someone has lobbed an Application for Wind up! What to do? And what about the number of random people who call you or send you letters offering "help"? "consultants", often from companies that have big sounding names and bad websites will offer all sorts of 'ways out'. Pre-insolvency, anti-phoenix, and a whole lot of other words you may never have really heard of come in to play now. It's a minefield, so good advice from a decent source is key. Another good overview from Cheryl Stainsby of what think about if you find yourself in this situation.

    20. Watch out for the Creditors Statutory Demand!

    What do you do if you get a Creditors Statutory Demand? (and what is that anyway?) Well, you definitely don't ignore it, or just hope it goes away! Over the last few episodes we've been talking through the increasing heat if you or your business owes a debt and it remains unpaid longer and longer. Sometimes the process is fast - but what is 'the process'? Not all of the steps need to be taken before you find out about a court date for a large debt. To be warned at least is the start of being ready - and deciding how best to act if you receive a Creditors Statutory Demand. Listen in on Cheryl Stainsby again as she takes us through these situations and what to expect along the way.
