In June this year, I was invited to participate in a panel on ‘Overcoming Business Growing Pains’ held by AIMIA ^[1] in Melbourne.

Third speaker Brendan Lewis of the Churchill Club ^[2] surprised (and delighted) us all with an extremely frank and candid presentation on his experiences taking his own company into administration.

It’s a subject that is not often written or spoken about, particularly in the first person, leaving most entrepreneurs with only one option for learning how to shut a company down… the hard way.

Special thanks to AIMIA for making this footage available to Anthill and ‘hats off’ to Brendan Lewis for this enlightening presentation. (To quote Lewis, “You won’t find this in any accounting or legal textbook.”)
