CRS Insolvency Services – Financial Assistance That Helps

With an increasing number of Australians reporting that they are insolvent, and many more declaring bankruptcy each year, the need for effective and efficient nation-wide financial assistance is greater than ever.

For professional financial assistance at the lowest price – guaranteed – CRS Insolvency Services is the answer.

CRS Insolvency Services are highly experienced insolvency specialists located in Australia, with a proven track record in providing professional and successful financial assistance to Australian businesses and individuals. CRS assists individuals facing personal or corporate insolvency in Australia and who may be considering declaring bankruptcy or liquidating their company. We work closely with our clients in order to observe the cause of their financial hardships, determine which financial solution suits them best and see them through the process of getting back on their feet.

When seeking assistance for their debt problems, many individuals are unaware of their options and generally think of bankruptcy as their only available choice. Thankfully, the Australian government offers indebted Australians with a number of alternatives to better deal with their intense financial strain.

At CRS, our advice is to always consider the legal alternatives to bankruptcy, as the consequences are usually less severe. These bankruptcy alternatives include a Debt Agreementor a Personal Insolvency Agreement. Before these agreements existed, if you were in debt you really only had two options; either pay it in full or declare yourself bankrupt. Thankfully, debtors are now able to consider other alternatives that may be more suited to their financial position and come with fewer consequences.

With both agreements, once the agreement is set up and a negotiated repayment amount is agreed on by your creditors, all interest on your debts will be frozen. The administrator of your agreement (be it a Debt Agreement Administrator or a Registered Trustee) will become the only point of contact with your creditors. They will handle all enquiries and ensure that your repayments are distributed to your creditors in the prescribed manner.

The financial assistance provided by CRS is centred on helping you determine the option which will best benefit you. By entering into one of these alternative arrangements, you will have peace of mind knowing that you are protected from any creditors threatening legal action or bankruptcy.

To propose a Debt Agreement or Personal Insolvency Agreement, you need the assistance of a company such as CRS Insolvency Services. You will require either a Debt Agreement Administrator or a Registered Trustee (respectively) to administer your agreement, both of whom we have available on site.This means that we are able to provide you with either alternative, and can follow your case through from start to finish in as timely a manner as possible.

For more information on CRS Insolvency Service’s financial assistance options, or for free and impartial advice on your alternatives to bankruptcy, contact our 24/7 hotline on 1800 093 070.

Alternatives for people considering bankruptcy this Christmas

As joyous as the Christmas season is, there’s no denying it can be a stressful time of year, particularly for the debtor on a tight Christmas budget.

With looming debts hanging over their heads and legal court cases just around the corner, many debtors can’t help but contemplate declaring bankruptcy during the expensive holiday season.

While Christmas is a time for renewal and bankruptcy offers a fresh new slate, it does come with many consequences that bear consideration.

CRS believes that debtors should first consider the alternatives before completely throwing in the towel this Christmas and beyond.

Recommended options to be considered before bankruptcy include Debt Agreements and Personal Insolvency Agreements.

 Both these agreements are quite similar, and mainly differ depending on how much you earn and how much you owe your creditors.

The agreements provide an affordable payment plan for your unsecured debts, which we negotiate with your creditors. Once the agreement is set up and agreed to by  your creditors, all interest on your debts will be frozen. Thankfully, the agreements can span a flexible period of time, making the payments a lot more affordable.

By applying for one of these agreements, you will be free to enjoy the Christmas season with peace of mind, knowing that you are protected from any unsecured creditors threatening you with legal action or bankruptcy.

At CRS Insolvency Services, we never want our clients to feel like they’re on their own during this process. Our insolvency specialists will handle all payments to your creditors and manage all enquiries from them.

You can find out more about these agreements here or by contacting our 24/7 hotline on 1800 210 073, for free and confidential advice anytime that suits you.

Three Reasons For a Company Liquidation

CRS Insolvency Services are a group of trusted experts in both personal bankruptcy and business-related insolvency. Our experts are trained and qualified professionals that can offer you quality advice about liquidating your company. At CRS Insolvency Services, we understand the difficulty and confusion that is experienced when you are faced with the liquidation  of your business, and we will aid you in this time of uncertainty.

 

The main red flags that indicate that a business might be heading toward liquidation include: a lack of knowledge of business practices; inadequate resources to cover costs; excessive expenditure to build business; failure of clients to pay money owing; and harsh competition.

 

To help you recognise the prevalence of company liquidation, CRS Insolvency Services have collated a list of the three main reasons that directors and shareholders choose to voluntary liquidate their companies:

 

  1. Trading Insolvent

 

If you notice that your company does not have the money to pay its debts as they fall due, then you should consider voluntarily going into liquidation. Continuing to trade and incurring further debt whilst insolvent comes with serious consequences.

 

  1. Protection

 

If your company is insolvent and you fail to prevent it from incurring further debt by placing it into administration or liquidation, then as a director you could become personally liable for the debts incurred. By liquidating the company as soon as possible you will protect all directors, members and creditors.

 

  1. Freedom

 

If you frequently find yourself suffering from stress, depression, anxiety and insomnia over the thought of continuing to trade whilst in debt, then liquidation may be the answer for you. Insufficient funds and excess stress over increasing piles of bills are an indication that it may be time to talk to one of our specialists at CRS Insolvency Services.

 

At CRS Insolvency Services, we will work with you to ensure that you are fully informed of all possible options, actions and consequences during all of our consultations. We can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1800 210 073 for free, impartial and confidential advice about your options.

A Study on Corporate Insolvency: Pie Face

Corporate insolvency can occur to even the most seemingly successful businesses. As reported recently by The Sydney Morning Herald, the beloved fast-food chain famous for its Aussie pies, Pie Face, has encountered financial difficulties, and has appointed an administrator in an attempt to save the company through restructuring and refinancing.

Earlier this year Pie Face had shut down six of its operations in New York, leaving just one store in Hell’s Kitchen, after failing to make the Aussie meat pie a staple in the US. One of the first signs of insolvency is poor cash flow forecasts and legal actions, which was evident last year when Pie Face was sued by franchisees over allegations that they had been misled in regards to forecasted potential profits and costs.

After the appointment of the administrators, Pie Face announced it would close some stores in NSW and Victoria. Although Pie Face’s debt load remains unclear, it is predicted that an estimated 85 per cent of Pie Face stores were unprofitable and suffered a drop in sales of between seven to eight per cent, year on year, for the past four years. This suggests that Pie Face has had continuing losses, which is a prime indicator of insolvency.

If you are worried that your company is straying down the same path of insolvency, you need to act now before it’s too late. CRS Insolvency Services operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing an insolvency hotline to offer you free and impartial insolvency advice when it best suits you. Call them today on 1800 210 073.
