We believe in second chances.

There is a growing societal and economic impact associated with the increasing number of business losses in Australia, and around the world. The experience can be life-altering, yet learning from it is often not automatic as complex barriers can follow a business loss experience.

We seek to redefine the narrative around business loss, and through collaborative partnerships with stakeholders, strive for a paradigm shift that minimises the loss of capital, human resources, and entrepreneurial talent in a changing economic landscape.

Our vision is to pioneer a future where every business owner in Australia has access to user-specific business loss support education and resources in the event of an honest business failure, reducing long-term impediments that lead to vulnerability beyond the regulatory bankruptcy period.

Our commitment lies in providing individuals with tailored support and access to the Restart Smart Program, assisting with strategies and insights to make smarter, more informed decisions, offering guidance through the initial aftermath, sensemaking and social re-emergence processes.

People can learn from business failure - we show them how.

As an interdependent organisation, ABERA is motivated to see greater research and education in learning institutions, provide social guidance in the marketplace and encourage dialogue and questions that improve engagement with the communities about business loss.
