38 Years of Business Turnarounds

By Doug Constable · 2 July 2026

Lessons from the frontline

I've spent nearly four decades walking through the fire with business owners. Not from the sidelines, not from a theoretical distance — but right there beside them, when the banks are calling, creditors are circling, and the fear of losing everything is real.

This blog isn't about theory. It's about what actually works when a business is in crisis.

What I've learned after 1,200+ cases

1. Most businesses don't die from one big mistake

They bleed out slowly from a dozen small cuts — late payments, overcommitment, poor planning, and pride. The real danger is waiting too long to act.

2. The right help changes everything

I've seen business owners turn it all around — not because they knew the answers, but because they got the right guidance early. That might be through insolvency professionals like Resolvency, who understand the system and don't just push liquidation. Or business coaches at Resolve Business Solutions who know how to pull the business back from the brink.

3. You can rebuild — if you're willing to be honest

No more BS. The turning point is always the same: the day a business owner stops pretending and starts doing the work.

It's not too late

I've helped people facing bankruptcy rebuild their businesses, protect their homes, and walk back into their industry with confidence. If that sounds like something you need — let's talk.

Because when your other professionals walk out, I walk in.

Facing this yourself?

Don’t sit on it. ATO, wind-up, liquidation or bankruptcy goes to Resolvency; advisory or recovery goes to Resolve. Or talk to me first.
