Safe Harbour provisions in Australia, which were implemented under the Corporations Act, allow directors to manage their company’s financial troubles in a discreet and effective manner.

This legislation establishes a structure under which directors can seek the advice of an “Appropriately Qualified Advisor” to develop and implement a strategic plan for recovery. At Roger and Carson, our experts are skilled insolvency advisors who can help you navigate this complex process.

What is Safe Harbour?

In 2017, the Federal Government of Australia implemented the new Safe Harbour provisions. These recently enacted laws enable company directors in financial problems to shield themselves from personal accountability for insolvent trading while they seek to bring their enterprises around.

The Safe Harbour rules offer directors time and space to fix their businesses without fear of being sued for insolvent trading.

This allows them to avoid placing their company under external administration too soon. Instead, companies might focus on developing a restructuring strategy that is more likely to result in a positive end than formal insolvency.

What Is The Safe Harbour Process?

It is quite simple to start the Safe Harbour process. All Roger and Carson need from you is a resolution signed by most of the company directors. We will give you all the necessary documents and information. All you need to do is sign

The process takes place in two stages:

1.
Stage 1

Our safe harbour insolvency experts work with you to create a restructuring plan, which usually takes 1-2 weeks.

2.
Stage 2

We then execute the plan and monitor it. Depending on the plan’s complexity, this stage can last several months.

FAQ

What Does “Better Outcome” Mean?

Better Outcome is a situation in which a business and its creditors are better off than if it went into liquidation or Voluntary Administration.

Safe Harbour financial planning protects directors from what kind of debts?

The Safe Harbour provision does not protect all debts. It only applies to debts incurred in connection with the course of action during the time beginning when the course of action is first taken and ending when the course of action is no longer reasonably likely to result in a better outcome.
