About SBR Guide
Australia's independent resource for Small Business Restructuring information. We're not a practitioner firm — we're here to help you understand your options.
Helping Business Owners Understand Their Options
SBR Guide is an independent educational resource dedicated to helping Australian business owners understand Small Business Restructuring (SBR) and their options when facing financial distress. The platform is operated by SUG Labs International Ltd.
We are not a practitioner firm. We don't provide restructuring services ourselves. Instead, we provide free, unbiased information based on government data and connect business owners with licensed restructuring practitioners who can help.
Educational First
Information, not sales pitches
"Many Australian business owners don't know that SBR exists. They think their only options are payment plans (paying 100% of debt) or liquidation (closing the business)."
Bridging the Awareness Gap
Many business owners don't know SBR exists. We're here to fill that gap with clear, honest information.
Independent guidance should be practical, not promotional
Our role is to help owners understand pathways, risks, and timing so decisions are based on evidence rather than urgency-driven sales pressure.
Explain SBR alongside alternatives
Present how SBR works in context with other options, not in isolation.
Use conservative framing
Support key claims with source-backed data and evidence-based information.
Encourage early action responsibly
Promote timely decisions without promising guaranteed outcomes.
We believe that business owners deserve clear, honest information about their options — not sales pitches or miracle promises. That's why we cite government sources (primarily ASIC Report 810) for all our statistics and clearly explain both the benefits and limitations of SBR.

Not Your Typical Lead Generator
The Australian Restructuring Insolvency & Turnaround Association (ARITA) has raised concerns about "unregulated lead generators, commission-based spruikers, and Facebook ads promising miracles" in the SBR space.
We share these concerns. That's why we operate differently:
Focus on education first, not high-pressure sales tactics
Use conservative language and cite sources for all claims
Clearly explain that results vary based on individual circumstances
Connect users with multiple practitioners, not just one preferred provider
Provide information about alternatives when SBR isn't the right fit
