Your Small Business Finance Specialist

Is Your Client Headed Toward Liquidation? There May Be a Better Way.
Every year, thousands of viable businesses are lost to liquidation unnecessarily. In many cases, a Small Business Restructure (SBR) can offer a clear path to survival — allowing business owners to keep control, preserve value, and repay debts in a manageable, legally compliant way.
Finance X, we provide specialist SBR finance solutions
At Finance X, we provide specialist SBR finance solutions that allow struggling businesses to:
– Avoid liquidation
– Negotiate a debt restructure with the ATO and creditors
– Retain ownership and control of their company
– Access up to 5 years to repay debts under a formal plan
With a panel of over 60 lenders, we source tailored, flexible funding to support SBR proposals and provide working capital for a successful turnaround.
