Still carrying debt from the hard years?
Northern NSW businesses have been through more than most: floods, fires, tourist seasons that vanished and rebuilds that took years. Plenty of good operators came out the other side still trading, but with a tax debt that grew quietly while everything else demanded attention.
This is our home region. We work with cafe owners in Byron, tradies in Lismore, farmers around Casino and operators up and down the coast who are behind on BAS or super and tired of promising the ATO money they do not have. A hard history does not disqualify you from help. Handled properly, it becomes part of a realistic proposal the ATO can actually accept.
It costs nothing to find out where you stand. Every conversation is confidential.
Common Northern NSW situations
- Tourism & hospitality: seasonal towns where a quiet winter turns into a missed BAS
- Farming & agribusiness: weather-hit seasons and debt still carried from the flood years
- Trades & builders: rebuild work that dried up while the debts stayed

Northern Rivers questions, answered honestly
Are you actually local?
Yes. BDK is based in the Northern Rivers, and we meet clients face to face across the region, from Tweed Heads down to Coffs Harbour and inland to Casino and Grafton.
What does the first chat cost?
Nothing. It is obligation-free, confidential and usually enough to know where you stand and what can realistically be done.
My business never fully recovered after the floods. Does that history count against me?
No, and handled properly it can help. The ATO assesses proposals on compliance history and genuine capacity to pay. A clear story of what hit the business and why it is viable now makes a proposal more credible, not less.
I am a sole trader, not a company. Can you still help?
The options differ: the formal restructuring processes we use apply to companies, while individuals have different pathways. Either way the first conversation is free, and you will leave it knowing which options apply to you.
