Your morning, made worthwhile
Less uncertainty.
More clarity on your next move.
Running a business comes with enough surprises. This is not a session for businesses in trouble. It is for the ones doing well.
Most business owners do not see the risk coming until it is too late. They are running well, growing, and managing suppliers, staff and cash flow. Then an event beyond the director's control happens. They are blind-sided, and the tables are instantly turned.
The trigger is often not a bad decision. It can be something completely outside your control: a pandemic, an illness, or your biggest client going under.
In this must-attend session for business owners or directors, Hank will show you simple methods you can put in place now while everything is going well, so that if something does go wrong in your business, you and your family are protected.
Built for owners and directors.
Practical insights. Plain English.
Room for your questions.

The de Jonge Read advisory team
Hank was running a successful business built on international tourism when September 11 stopped travel into Australia. Overnight, the work halted. He was 35, and what kept him awake was not the business itself. It was whether he could save the family home, the car, and the jobs of the people who worked for him. The insolvency practitioner he was sent to could not tell him how to protect any of it, because advising him would have conflicted the practitioner out of the liquidation job.
So in 2006 Hank built the firm he had needed and could not find. de Jonge Read, a pre-insolvency specialist firm, acts for directors, not their creditors, and has since helped more than 9,500 individuals and businesses across Australia. Along the way, one pattern became impossible to ignore. The businesses that had been structured properly before trouble arrived always came out significantly better.
- A focus on owners, directors and practical decisions
