The Challenge

Despite years of hard work, a combination of market forces and operational hurdles left Brian’s construction company trapped under insurmountable debt.

Economic Slowdown

A shift in the broader economy severely impacted the company’s cash flow and project pipeline.

Internal Management Issues

Operational inefficiencies and internal roadblocks compounded the financial strain on the business.

Unmanageable Debt Levels

The company’s financial obligations rapidly grew beyond what current revenues could support.

Threat to Livelihoods

The impending risk of insolvency meant Brian’s dedicated employees were in severe danger of losing their jobs.

The Solution

After a thorough review of Brian’s company, we identified that Voluntary Administration and a subsequent DOCA offered the best path to rescue the business and maximize returns for everyone involved.

Viability assessment

We conducted a deep dive into the business’s financials and determined the core construction operations were still highly viable.

Stakeholder communication

We stepped in to manage all correspondence, transparently handling relationships and negotiations with anxious creditors.

Strategic restructuring

We drafted a comprehensive Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA) designed to cover debts through future profits and the strategic sale of non-essential assets.

Job preservation

We prioritized turnaround terms that allowed the company to continue trading uninterrupted, successfully securing the employees’ jobs.

Why this approach worked

Getting started is easy and straightforward

Reason 1

A Viable Path Forward for Creditors

By establishing a DOCA, we provided creditors with a better, more reliable return than if the company had been immediately liquidated, which secured their crucial buy-in.

Reason 2

Protecting the Workforce and Operations

Instead of shutting the doors, the Voluntary Administration process gave the business the breathing room needed to restructure. This allowed Brian to retain his experienced team and keep projects moving forward.

The Result

Brian successfully transitioned his construction company through Voluntary Administration. The accepted DOCA eliminated the immediate threat of liquidation, saved his employees’ jobs, and provided a realistic, structured framework to repay creditors while keeping the business alive.

I cannot thank Georgia at Revive Financial enough for her help. She was incredibly understanding, empathetic and attentive throughout the entire process, while also being so efficient and quick to get everything moving. Having my debt consolidation approved has taken such a huge amount of stress and pressure off me, and Georgia made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel simple and manageable. I’m genuinely so grateful for her support and the way she handled everything. Thank you so much, Georgia!
