SYDNEY, May 2025. Boutique restructuring and insolvency firm, SALEA Advisory, is proud to announce the launch of its new division — mySBR. This specialised arm will focus exclusively on the Small Business Restructuring (SBR) process, supporting eligible businesses across Australia in overcoming financial distress and securing a stronger future.
The creation of mySBR responds to the growing demand for small business restructure options and the success of the SBR process since its introduction in 2021. As of January 2023, ASIC reported that 92% of SBR plans submitted received approval from creditors, validating the model’s effectiveness as an alternative to liquidation or voluntary administration.
As small businesses continue to face economic headwinds — including delayed payments, tax debt, and rising operating costs — many are finding themselves stuck in long-term repayment cycles that stall recovery. The new mySBR division has been established to provide a clear path forward for Australian businesses.
Why launch mySBR now?
mySBR will support business owners with total liabilities under $1 million who are experiencing financial pressure and looking for a way to trade through — not wind down. Many small businesses are viable in the long term but need immediate relief and clarity to regain control.
Unlike traditional insolvency processes such as Voluntary Administration, the Small Business Restructuring process enables business owners to:
- Stay in control of the company and day-to-day operations
- Work with a registered Small Business Restructuring Practitioner (SBRP) to prepare a debt restructuring plan
- Negotiate debts with creditors, including the ATO, without the disruption associated with external administration
This process was designed specifically for Australian SMEs as a more accessible way for businesses to continue trading while recovering from financial hurdles. It also helps directors to protect staff and supplier relationships by avoiding the reputational damage of formal insolvency appointments.
A trusted team with a track record
Led by experienced insolvency professional Sule Arnautovic, the SALEA Advisory team has already achieved strong outcomes for clients using the SBR process. To date, the firm has maintained a 100% eligibility and compliance rate, with only one plan rejected due to client non-compliance with professional advice.
“We launched mySBR to give small business owners a clear, guided path out of financial distress — one that protects what they’ve built and gives them a future to look forward to. Our goal is to deliver real results with empathy, clarity and professionalism,” said Sule Arnautovic, Founder & Director of SALEA Advisory.
What sets mySBR apart is its proactive, collaborative approach. Its small business restructuring specialists engage directly with the ATO and other creditors before submitting the formal restructuring plan, increasing the likelihood of approval. This upfront engagement, paired with fixed, transparent pricing, provides confidence for all parties involved.
mySBR also works closely with accountants and professional advisors to ensure accurate cash flow forecasting and smooth plan execution. It’s not just a process — it’s a partnership.
A new chapter for struggling small businesses
At its core, mySBR was created to solve a familiar problem: business owners stuck in debt cycles, with limited knowledge of their options, unsure where to turn. Through education, support, and expert guidance, mySBR gives those owners a chance to write a new chapter — one built on stability and growth.
Whether you’re a business owner navigating financial stress or an adviser supporting a client through a small business restructure, mySBR is now open for new appointments.
