01

The first week

What to do in the 72 hours after you stop trading. Who to call, who not to call, what not to promise, and why you don't make any decisions on day one.

6 min 02

What you owe and to whom

Personal guarantees, director loans, ATO debts, trade creditors. The hierarchy of who gets paid first and who can wait. The difference between bankrupt, insolvent, and broke.

7 min 03

The conversation with your partner

How to tell her what happened and what's coming. What to share, what to hold, and why "I'll fix it" is the most dangerous sentence you can say right now.

6 min 04

Telling staff and creditors

The conversations nobody trains you for. How to close a business without destroying the people who worked in it or the people you owe money to.

7 min 05

The house and the name

Separating your identity from the business before it takes your marriage and your assets down with it. What's at risk, what's protected, and how to find out which is which.

6 min 06

Grieving the thing you built

It's a loss. Not a setback. Not a pivot. A loss. How to sit with that without turning it into a story about yourself that isn't true — and how to start asking what's next.
