The Davidson's Story

Self-employed couple James and Lea Davidson have been running their business for 4 years. The ATO was pressuring them to finalise a commitment with them but the payment plan was not realistic for their cashflow. Azora was able to help by unlocking their equity to pay out the ATO debt and helped provide additional cash flow to help bolster their stock levels, which was crucial during COVID.
