A DPN is one of the few areas where waiting is the wrong move. The day you receive one — call.
Testimonials
What clients say
★★★★★
“Restaurant group, COVID legacy debt + cost crisis. They explained SBR, mapped the numbers, took us through it. Plan accepted by creditors, we kept trading, two years later we are profitable and the debt is settled. They handled the hardest months of my life with calm.”

“Got a DPN on a Friday. Called them Saturday morning, they were on a video call with me Monday. Twenty-one days later we had a structured response in place that protected me personally and kept the company functional through the workout. They saved my house.”

★★★★★
“Major customer collapsed and took our cash flow with it. NRP took us through VA, found a buyer for the trading division during the decision period, and engineered a DOCA that kept 18 jobs and paid creditors better than liquidation would have. Calm, professional, never made me feel small.”

FAQ
Director Penalty Notice (DPN) Response — common questions
What\'s the difference between lockdown and non-lockdown DPN?+
Non-lockdown — issued before the BAS/SGC was 3+ months overdue at lodgement. You have 21 days to act and can avoid personal liability via SBR/VA/Liquidation. Lockdown DPN — already irreversible personal debt.
Can the ATO be negotiated with?+
Yes — the ATO is generally pragmatic when approached early with a credible plan. Confrontation rarely helps; structured proposals do.
What if I miss the 21 days?+
After 21 days the DPN amount becomes a personal debt enforceable against you individually. Don\'t miss the window.
