Entity has a very strong aptitude to meet credit commitments. Extend terms within consideration.

Over 50% of businesses in Australia that incur a payment default go into administration within 18 months.

A payment default is a notification on a credit report, flagging a debt that has not been paid. Once a default is lodged, it can affect a companys credit score for up to five years. If a default is paid, its status can be updated.

A tax default indicates that a business has overdue tax payments and has failed to respond to a notice of disclosure by The Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Tax defaults are only lodged on debts that are over 90 days overdue and are over a value of $100,000.

This refers to ASIC (the Australian Securities and Investment Commission), a statutory Federal body tasked with regulating the conduct of Australian companies, financial markets and financial services organizations. ASIC will issue an Insolvency Notice following Court applications made under Chapter 5 and Schedule 2 of the Corporations Act 2001. An Insolvency Notice informs the public of the uncertainty surrounding a companys financial position or other matters relating to the companys cessation of trading and control by an external Administrator.

This refers to a situation where a Director of a Building company is being pursued by potentially a creditor or other third party through the Courts seeking legal remedies for an unpaid bill(s) or other type of litigation. It can be a significant indicator of financial stress in the Building companys cashflows and indicates their inability to pay bills as and when they fall due. It is often a precursor event to ultimate Insolvency and a red flag.

Refers to a situation where a person from outside the building company, known as an external administrator, is appointed to try to save the business, sell the business, or to wind it down and try to repay its debts. "Insolvency practitioners", "voluntary administrators", "liquidators" and "receivers" are all types of external administrators. It is a red flag that the building company should be avoided.

Winding up notices are issued by the ATO or other creditor to enforce payment of outstanding debt. This is sent after failure to act upon a statutory demand. The aim is to find out whether the entity is solvent and able to repay its debts owed. If the entity does not act before the court date specified on the notice, the business will be wound up.

When an administrator is appointed, company directors are relieved of their duties. The administrator investigates all available options for the company, determines the best path forward and provides a detailed report to creditors. The company may be restructured, get new owners or be wound up.
