Running a business often means juggling multiple financial commitments. When cash flow becomes tight or circumstances change, your existing commercial loans might not serve your business as well as they once did. This is where commercial debt restructuring comes into play – a valuable financial strategy that can help your Austral business regain its footing and plan for future growth.
What is Commercial Debt Restructuring?
Commercial debt restructuring involves modifying the terms of your existing business debts to make them more manageable. Rather than struggling with current repayments, you work with lenders to adjust aspects like:
• Interest rate structures
• Loan amount consolidation
• Repayment schedules
• Loan structure modifications
• Collateral arrangements
This process can help businesses in Austral maintain operations while working through temporary financial challenges or positioning for expansion.
When Should You Consider Debt Restructuring?
Several situations might prompt you to explore restructuring options:
- Cash flow pressure - When monthly repayments strain your working capital
- Expanding business needs require different financing structures
- Interest rate changes make your current loans less favourable
- Buying new equipment or upgrading existing equipment requires additional funding
- Property investments like plans to buy commercial land or buy an industrial property
Recognising these signs early allows you to take proactive steps rather than reactive ones.

• Converting to a revolving line of credit structure

For unsecured Commercial Loan arrangements, options might include:
