Bankruptcy in Townsville - Are you going to get bitten?

When people Townsville ask me about Bankruptcy, I let them know the classic 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 discover one last sunset before he dies. The boy was reluctant, but the rattlesnake promised not to bite him in exchange for the ride. They journeyed together only for the snake to eventually bite the boy despite his assurance not to do so. The snake's answer was 'You knew what I was when you picked me up.'.

Asking for the right financial advice in Townsville when it comes to Bankruptcy is a great deal like that little boy's journey, laden with risk and danger, and typically skewed for the benefit of the individual supplying the advice. In many 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 getting 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 very high and investing your money was quite profitable. I spent some time researching varied investment options, and I went to visit a few financial advisors. It was crystal clear 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 solutions. What hit me was that they all had a truly different strategy of what I should do. This confused me a lot that it put me off the entire idea of opting for any of them.

I'm sure currently you have read more than enough on the internet to be totally bewildered about Bankruptcy and just what to do. It would most likely be easier for me to help you comprehend the nature of the financial snakes you may be grabbing while you are attempting to get to the bottom of your financial concerns in Townsville. In essence, you need to try and understand what your overarching choices are, do your own research into where to proceed with your strategy for Bankruptcy, and then approach just what you feel is best in Townsville for your requirements. Basically, you have 3 options for who to turn to.

The first option is a Solicitor - This may seem like the go-to approach when you appear to be in trouble. But there really is only just so much assistance they can give on this matter. There are definitely specialist legal advisors in bankruptcy, but their knowledge includes a hefty price.

Another choice you may think of is your accountant - they are incredibly useful and vital to the process of operating your business, but for the most part, when you are thinking of Bankruptcy, your accountant won't be much help to you any more.

Your best bet? A Financial Counsellor that can talk about debt consolidation, personal insolvency agreements, and pretty much all you need to know when it comes to Bankruptcy.
