Bankruptcy in Bundaberg - Are you going to get bitten?


When people in Bundaberg ask me about Bankruptcy, I let them know the simple Native American Fable of the little boy and the Rattlesnake. An old rattlesnake asks a passing young boy to carry him to the mountain top to view one last sunset before he dies. The boy was reluctant, but the rattlesnake promised not to bite him in exchange for the ride. They travelled together only for the snake to ultimately attack the boy despite his assurance not to do so. The snake's response was 'You knew what I was when you picked me up.

Receiving the right financial advice in Bundaberg when it concerns Bankruptcy is a whole lot like that little boy's encounter, fraught with risk and danger, and typically skewed for the benefit of the individual offering the advice. In most cases you'll get bitten unless you know what you've picked up long before you move forward (avoid the rattlesnakes). I learned the problem with obtaining financial advice as a teenager, and it has been essential to Bankruptcy. I'd been keeping my nose to the grindstone for a few years, and saved up a little bit of money I wanted to invest. It was the early 1980s so interest rates were pretty high and investing your money was rather profitable. I spent some time researching numerous investment options, and I went to visit a few financial advisors. It was transparent that they had more money than I did: they had nice suits and plush offices, they all appeared to exude confidence and have all the answers. What hit me was that they all had a really different idea of what I should do. This confused me so much that it put me off the entire idea of picking any of them.

I'm sure currently you have read enough on the internet to be totally baffled about Bankruptcy and exactly what to do. It would most likely be easier for me to help you comprehend the nature of the financial snakes you might be grasping while you are trying to get to the bottom of your financial troubles in Bundaberg. Essentially, you need to try and figure out what your overarching alternatives are, do your own research into where to proceed with your plan for Bankruptcy, and after that approach what you feel is best in Bundaberg for your needs. Basically, you have 3 options for who to turn to.

The first option is a Solicitor - This may seem the go-to choice when you seem to be in trouble. But there is only so much support they can give on this matter. There are certainly specialist legal advisors in bankruptcy, but their experience comes along with a hefty price.
Another choice you may think of is your accountant - they are incredibly helpful and vital to the task of operating your business, but for the most part, when you are considering Bankruptcy, your accountant won't be much help to you any more.

Your best choice? A Financial Counsellor that can outline debt consolidation, personal insolvency agreements, and virtually all you should know when it comes to Bankruptcy.
