We are Independent Mediators
Goodman Grant act as an advisor identifying, assessing and strategising financial distress solutions for Individuals, SME’s and Corporations.
We act as a mediator between parties to settle resolutions for a wide range of distressed situations.
This is Who We Work With
Accountants
We have established strong partnerships with many accountants, who recognise the benefit of our unique approach over traditional solutions.
Lawyers
Goodman Grant assists with maintaining strong and effective relationships with our partners and clients, rather than losing them through bankruptcy/insolvency.
Insolvency Practitioners
Insolvency practitioners deal predominantly with creditors for a company, especially during voluntary administration or liquidation. Goodman Grant structure things differently.
What We Do
Quickly establish the financial position of the business and obligations of the directors after examining the company financials.
Provide a cost effective way where possible to restructure the company balance sheet.
Minimise the impact on a director which may arise should they have traded whilst insolvent.
Provide a comprehensive action plan with the objective of asset protection and enabling the business to continue operations.
If insolvency be the only option,
Goodman Grant will position our clients in the most favourable position resulting in
improved outcomes.
Goodman Grant can act on our clients behalf to negotiate reduced debt levels with
creditors and banks.
In certain circumstances we can provide necessary working capital.
About Us
Our mission is to
“Provide Collaborative and Innovative Solutions to Our Clients by Incorporating Our Collective Expertise to Deliver Resolutions for a Wide Range of Distressed Solutions.”
Goodman Grant have over 30 years’ experience in financial structuring, litigation, debt negotiation, and capital raising for distressed entities.
We specialise in all types of debt.
Our aim is to successfully mitigate business and personal debt whilst endeavouring to keep a business solvent. We offer a wide range of debt solutions and direct lending services which are tailored to suit each individual clients requirements.
If there is a potential insolvency situation, Goodman Grant will provide directors and secured creditors of financially distressed entities with tailored strategies to achieve the best possible outcome.
This is achieved by blending the three professional pillars of accounting, law, and insolvency into a “one stop shop”. The same applies to shareholders of the companies, particularly in the case of ASX Listed Companies.
The essential strategy is to utilise the corporate Laws of insolvency to the benefit of the director and/or secured creditors.
In representing the director’s and/or the secured creditor’s interests, Goodman Grant does not experience the conflict issues insolvency practitioners do in representing ‘all creditors” by Law. While corporate directors may know the “ins and outs” of their business, they seldom know the options available to them when their company experiences financial difficulties.
Why Us
Goodman Grant work closely with company accountants and specialist lawyers, offering a preferred alternative
to insolvency practitioners, acting in the best interest of the directors and shareholders.
We are not liquidators pretending to be debt negotiators or restructuring specialists.
Our main objective is to save and help companies before its too late.
Many clients have said:-
"If Only I Had Met You A Couple Of Months Ago"
We act on behalf of major organisations through to SME's and individuals with debts from $10,000 to $millions.
Goodman Grant operates a transparent model, aimed at helping Individuals, Directors and Shareholders to get through to tomorrow.
