Go for Broke Day

Go for Broke – not Go Broke!
No, we don’t mean organise a roadtrip to the Hunter Valley either!
You’re probably all in when it comes to your small business in order to succeed.
If you’ve accidentally missed out a word and it looks like you might be going broke – ask for help right away. Your accountant and bookkeeper can point you in the right direction if you haven’t gone past the point of no return.
Times are tough, its not failure to ask for help. Its a sensible business decision!
