Small & medium sized businesses

Practical solutions for small and medium sized businesses under pressure

A small business is not just a job. It’s a livelihood, a retirement plan and a legacy. Financial distress of your business can affect more than balance sheets – it impacts people, livelihoods and communities. Acting early is critical to preserving value and avoiding unnecessary risk.

We provide clear, practical solutions that help businesses regain control, manage debt and protect jobs. Our approach is designed to give owners and directors the confidence to make informed decisions and move forward towards a fair outcome to key stakeholders.

At KordaMentha, we work with you to help protect what matters most ensuring that you are supported with the necessary technical expertise, compliance and care through these challenging situations.

Providing end-to-end support for small and medium sized businesses

When cash flow is tight or debts are mounting, it can feel like options are limited. Many small businesses face pressure from creditors, tax obligations and the fear of losing control. These challenges can be overwhelming, but there are solutions designed specifically for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs).

We work with you to understand your position and develop a plan that is realistic, compliant and fair. Our focus is on helping you stay in control wherever possible and giving your business the best chance to recover.
