Corporate Acquisitions
Sell us your corporation. Keep your trade name. Walk away with a clean slate
We lawfully acquire indebted Australian corporations and deploy a proprietary, compliant process to eliminate corporate debt and minimize future tax exposure — so you can move forward. Working directly with Kevin J. Johnston, we are Enemy #1 for the ATO.
Who This Is For (Eligibility)
-
Our fee is 10%–20% (based on state) of the total corporate debt assumed with a minimum fee of $10,000 per corporate acquisition - plus the cost of forming a new corporation (as needed).
-
We assume liability for all government debts, whether state or federal. Whether it is payroll, Income Tax or Payroll debt, we will take on the debt as part of the acquisition. We also assume any other debt
like supplier debt or other obligations that are not personally guaranteed.
-
Personally Guaranteed Debt: Not included in our standard acquisition. On request, we attempt PG removal on a best-efforts basis with a 50/50 historical success ratio. Each attempt requires a $1000 action fee (letter + calls/emails) and it can takes weeks if not longer but we can do it but not guaranteed like above-noted normal corporate debt. If successful, our standard fee applies on the PG amount released.
-
Industries & states: We work across Australia. Certain states involve additional compliance filings that affect pricing (see pricing below).

Our Process (What to Expect)
1
Step 1 —
Video Consult
Understand the strategy, ask questions, and confirm fit.
4
Step 4 —
Share Sale (Closing)
You execute our proprietary legal documents (Share Purchase Agreement and associated instruments). We become the purchaser of the indebted corporation.
2
Step 2 —
Debt Inventory
You provide specific creditor balances and an accurate total (PG vs. non-PG distinguished).
5
Step 5 —
Your New Operating Company
If you’ll continue doing business, we set up a new corporation. You keep your trade name while operations continue on a clean platform.
3
Step 3 —
Corporate Documentation
You deliver required legal/registry documents for your registered corporation.
6
Step 6 —
Formal Notices
We file the director/officer changes with the state and notify the CRA of the corporate sale and liability transfer. When appropriate, we also notify existing creditors.
Post-Close Operations
1
We can take over banking control of the acquired entity (you may withdraw your funds first).
2
No further bookkeeping/accounting is required for the old corporation. Do not waste your timing paying an accountant to finalize anything. Stop doing accounting work or paying ATO fees if you are going to sell us your corporation.
3
If we set up your new corporation, you typically won’t need an accountant going forward — a bookkeeper is sufficient for day-to-day records.

Compliance & Legal Posture
-
Lawful framework: It is legal in Australia to acquire a company with debt. Our process is designed to comply with Australian corporate and tax laws.
-
ATO notifications: While state registries update corporate records, we also send the ATO a formal letter confirming the sale and the shift of legal liability to the new owner.
-
Counsel: We operate with a dedicated legal team; we do not advertise or name counsel publicly.
-
Result orientation: Our objective is the lawful elimination of the acquired corporation’s debt following the share sale, combined with a future-facing operating structure that minimizes tax exposure.
Guarantees & Disclosures
-
Guarantee: Upon acquisition, legal liability for the corporation’s debts ceases for the seller under our transaction structure. Our documents include robust indemnities for the selling shareholders.
-
Disclosure: Outcomes depend on specific facts and law. We do not provide legal, tax, or accounting advice to third parties; strategies are proprietary and implemented within Australian legal frameworks.
-
Not bankruptcy; not consolidation: This process is corporate debt elimination.

payroll operations to keep you off the ATO radar and improve cost control. -
