💼 Protect YOU and Your Business with PPSR Security Before It’s Too Late 💼 Are you providing goods on credit or loaning money to your own company? If so, have you registered a PPSR security to protect your interests? Liam Bailey from O’Brien Palmer and Angelina Kozary from Holman Webb Lawyers share this vital warning: • Without a PPSR registration, you’re essentially gifting your money to your company—with no guarantee of repayment. • Even retention-of-title clauses won’t protect your goods if the company enters liquidation. • We’ve seen small business owners lose $50,000 to $100,000 worth of goods, creating devastating ripple effects. The reality is, the responsibility to protect your assets lies with you. A simple PPSR registration can ensure your hard work doesn’t go to waste. 👉 Watch the video and read the blog to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gncBGzQV Don’t wait for a costly mistake—secure your business today. #PPSR #BusinessProtection #AssetSecurity #InsolvencyAdvice #OBrienPalmer #ProtectYourFuture

🚨 When Failing to Register with the PPSR Costs You Everything 🚨 Liam Bailey from O’Brien Palmer and Angelina Kozary from Holman Webb Lawyers share a true story of what happens when businesses neglect to register their security interests on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR). In this case, a creditor provided vehicle finance but failed to register their security. When the company went into liquidation, the vehicles were sold, and the proceeds went to the general pool of creditors - leaving the financier with nothing. The loss was so severe, it pushed the financier into liquidation as well. The lesson? The PPSR is simple, inexpensive, and essential to protect your business. Yet, complacency continues to put businesses at risk. 👉 Want to see how you can avoid being a statistic?

From losing priority over assets to watching hard-earned money slip through your fingers, the consequences of getting it wrong are devastating. 💡 Here's the reality: • If you're providing goods on credit or lending money to your own company, you must register your interests. • Timing is everything—miss the 20-day window, and your protection is gone. • Mistakes on the PPSR are more common than you think, and they can lead to devastating financial loss. Don’t wait for a worst-case scenario.

🚨 ATO Tax Repayment Arrangements: Key Risks & Rewards 🚨 Thinking about entering into an ATO repayment plan? 🤔 It’s not always the best move and can carry serious consequences for your business and personal liability as a Director. Understand these Key Facts before you proceed: 99% of companies in small business restructuring list the ATO as a creditor. The ATO holds 50%+ of debt in 91% of these cases. During COVID-19, the ATO provided massive relief. And now, the pressure is on for that money to be repaid. What You Need to Know: While the ATO offers flexible terms based on your financial hardship, entering into a repayment plan acknowledges potential insolvency by the Company. Directors can be personally exposed by the ATO seeking personal guarantees through the issuance of Director Penalty Notices, or by way of the statutory indemnity in place that makes Directors personally liable if a liquidator is appointed and recover preferential payments from the ATO Therefore it is wise to only enter into a Repayment Plan with the ATO if you’re confident you can fully comply with all of its terms. Otherwise, consider alternative arrangements like voluntary administration or small business restructuring.
