Managing a business comes with its fair share of challenges, and financial difficulties can escalate quickly. Many entrepreneurs find themselves caught in financial distress due to unaddressed tax returns, ATO debt, cash flow problems, and the risk of insolvency. Worse still, Director Penalty Notices (DPNs) can hold directors personally liable for unpaid tax obligations, putting their personal assets at risk during mergers and acquisitions.
 
At Oyster Hub, we understand these challenges and have developed a 3-phase Rescue Tax Due Diligence process to help struggling business owners regain control, stabilise their finances, and avoid insolvency.
If you’re facing financial distress, here’s how our structured approach can be your lifeline to recovery.

Phase 1: Diagnostic Assessment & Financial Health Check

Understanding Your Business’s Financial Position

Before a business can turn things around, it needs a clear understanding of its financial situation. This phase involves a detailed consultation to assess where things stand and identify potential risks, including tax risks that need to be made clear. We recommend a detailed audit and review of tax returns.

Key Steps in Phase 1:

  • Initial Consultation: A deep dive into your financial struggles and business challenges.
