"After struggling with a $450,000 ATO debt that kept me up at night, SBR Experts helped reduce it by 80%. Now my business is back on track and growing stronger than ever."
We are Australia's dedicated Small Business Restructuring specialists — not generalists.
Through a legally binding Small Business Restructuring Plan, your ATO and creditor debts can be significantly reduced — often by 50–85%.
Unlike liquidation or administration, the SBR process keeps you as director. You continue trading while we manage the restructuring.
Once an SBR plan is initiated, creditors — including the ATO — are legally prevented from taking further recovery action against your business.
The SBR process is designed for speed. Most plans are completed within 35 business days, so you can focus on running and growing your business.

We've answered the most common questions about Small Business Restructuring.
Small Business Restructuring (SBR) is a formal legal process that gives eligible Australian small businesses a genuine pathway out of unmanageable debt — without the devastating consequences of liquidation. At SBR Experts, we specialise exclusively in this process, helping business owners across Australia reduce their ATO debts, protect their assets, and rebuild their financial future.
Introduced by the Australian Government in January 2021 under the Corporations Act 2001, the Small Business Restructuring framework was designed to give small businesses a fast, affordable, and director-led alternative to traditional insolvency. Under this process, a registered SBR Practitioner works alongside the director to develop a restructuring plan that proposes a reduced repayment to creditors — including the ATO — over a period of up to three years.
Once the plan is accepted by a majority of creditors (by value), it becomes legally binding on all creditors, including those who voted against it. This means the ATO cannot continue to pursue the full outstanding debt, issue further enforcement action, or wind up the company while the plan is in effect.
The ATO has been increasingly active in debt recovery, issuing a range of enforcement actions against small businesses with outstanding debts. SBR Experts helps business owners respond to and resolve all of the following:
If you have received any of these notices, time is critical. The SBR process can only be initiated while your company is still trading and before a wind-up order is made. Contact SBR Experts today for a free, confidential consultation.
