Protecting your business: Avoiding Insolvency with Moira Carter

Townsville Chamber CEO Heidi Turner sits down with Moira Carter to discuss how a small business restructure allows eligible businesses to compromise their debts and maximise their chances of trading profitably in the future, while also allowing for business owners to remain in control of their business during the restructuring period.

About Moira Carter Moira is a registered liquidator and registered trustee in bankruptcy with 29 years experience in the insolvency industry.
