The SBR market lost its way.

Data-driven transparency for Australian directors.
Putting directors first.
Small business restructuring began with strong professional oversight and high approval rates. It was helping viable businesses recover and continue trading.
But, as the profile of SBRs increased, the surrounding market grew quickly. Unqualified advisors and unrealistic promises entered the space. This has meant distressed business owners risk making life-changing decisions based on sales pitches, not facts.
You’ve put everything into your business. Find the right professional to help you keep it.
Our mission
SBR Success was created for directors in financial difficulty who require clear, reliable information before making critical decisions about their company’s future.
The platform brings together publicly available ASIC data on small business restructures and presents it in a simple, accessible format. Its purpose is to help directors and their advisors identify the right registered practitioner to guide their restructuring process to success.
When a business is under pressure from ATO debt or cash flow strain, confidence in the quality and integrity of advice is essential. Advice should come from a properly regulated professional, backed by real experience, and focused on the best interests of the company and those who deal with it.
SBR Success exists to present accurate, publicly available information in a way that upholds transparency and integrity in the SBR process, supporting better decisions and stronger outcomes for viable businesses.
The reality gap
The promise
Some SBR advertising and advisors highlight large debt reductions and simple solutions. In reality, successful restructuring depends on detailed checks and preparation to ensure eligibility, suitability, and understanding the truly complex and varied issues required to achieve a positive outcome.
The data
Public ASIC data confirms who is formally registered to act as an SBR practitioner and shows their experience with SBR appointments and completed plans. This provides visibility of qualified professionals and helps assess their suitability to guide different businesses through the SBR process.
The variance
The difference is clear. Promotional messaging often focuses on promised outcomes before any work is done. Registered SBR practitioners focus first on eligibility, viability, and compliance, undertaking thorough checks before any proposal is developed. That thorough approach is what delivers genuine success, backed by the data, and reduces the risk of disappointment.
