About SBRHelp

Who operates SBRHelp

SBRHelp is an information and referral service operated by Ardian Law Pty Ltd (ABN 43 701 713 046). Using this website or submitting an enquiry does not engage Ardian Law Pty Ltd as your solicitor and does not create a solicitor-client relationship.

Advisory principles and regulatory framework

SBRHelp helps directors of proprietary limited companies understand restructuring pathways when they are experiencing creditor pressure, ATO arrears or working capital shortfalls.

All formal Small Business Restructuring appointments are conducted exclusively by ASIC-registered Liquidators qualified to act as Small Business Restructuring Practitioners under Part 5.3B.

Fee governance and transparency

Small Business Restructuring requires fixed-fee proposals for both the plan proposal period and the subsequent plan administration phase. Directors receive complete clarity regarding statutory costs prior to executing formal board appointments.

What we do, and what we do not do

SBRHelp publishes general information for directors and refers those who want a formal assessment to registered liquidators. We are not registered liquidators, we do not accept appointments, and nothing we publish is advice about your company. A practitioner who is proposed for your company will identify themselves and their ASIC registration to you in writing before any appointment is made.

Our guides are written from the legislation and regulator publications rather than from other firms' marketing, and each one lists its sources. How we research and source our guides.

National coverage

SBRHelp supports directors of companies registered in all Australian states and territories. Part 5.3B is Commonwealth law, so the process is the same wherever the company is registered.
