I went broke in 1988. I’ve spent 38 years making sure you don’t have to.
I’m Doug. I’ve sat exactly where you’re sitting, and I found the way back. No jargon. No judgement. Just a clear next move.
Every restructuring firm hides behind a logo. Every government debt line is a switchboard. I’m the one named person who has been broke, come back, and will say out loud what others won’t. Someone in your corner before the fight begins.
What I actually do
I don’t sell you a process. I work out where you really stand, I tell you the truth about it, and I connect you with exactly the right help, then I stay in your corner while it plays out.
When everything’s up in the air, what you want is a safe pair of hands: the wicketkeeper behind the stumps who takes the catch when it matters. That’s the job. I coordinate, I strategise, I liaise, and I work for you, not your creditors and not the tax office.
