Australian Debt Solvers

What Australian Debt Solvers does

Australian Debt Solvers is a Sydney-based private financial institution founded in 2014 that provides corporate insolvency solutions, business advisory, and administration services to Australian businesses and individuals. The firm operates in the domestic restructuring and insolvency market, with a service portfolio that spans Small Business Restructure (for companies owing under $1 million), Liquidation (covering both Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation and Members' Voluntary Liquidation), Voluntary Administration with DOCA, Safe Harbour director protection, Receivership (including Agent-for-Mortgagee appointments for secured creditors and financial institutions), Corporate Insolvency advisory, Personal Insolvency/Bankruptcy, and Director Penalty Notice (DPN) resolution. Complementary advisory offerings include a Business Health Check diagnostic tool, Virtual CFO services, and Special Situations Advisory for complex mandates.

The business is structured as a professional services firm, with headcount in the 11–50 range and no disclosed technology stack or proprietary platform — the core delivery model relies on credentialed practitioners (ASIC-registered liquidators, Chartered Accountants) performing formal insolvency appointments under Australian law. The go-to-market is advisory-driven: the firm offers free initial consultations and positions itself as a national operator with local teams delivering face-to-face engagement and 24/7 specialist availability. Distribution is supplemented by content marketing (educational guides, MG Academy webinars, Working Lunch sessions, Watch On Demand video library) and an active presence across LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

The revenue model is professional services fees earned on a project/engagement basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers, recurring subscription component, or disclosed revenue figures. Customer segmentation is horizontal, targeting businesses and individuals experiencing financial distress — cash flow problems, inability to meet creditor obligations, DPN exposure, and insolvency triggers — across all Australian states. (Note: a significant portion of the detailed product, team, and service-line data available in the source material is attributed to a related/identically-positioned entity, Mackay Goodwin, founded 1996; this has been used to characterize service-line depth where Australian Debt Solvers–specific data is absent.)
