The Fun Side Of Business
This podcast is all about the people, the ones behind the brands.
We get into the real stories: the highs, the lows, and everything in between, without the polished filter.
Behind every business is a human story, full of risks, challenges, wins, and unexpected turns.
Business life? It’s not what you think.

Feeling like your business is slowly getting squeezed from all sides? You’re not alone, and it might not be over. In this episode, insolvency practitioner turned business rescue pro Gary Rupping shares why the end of a company doesn’t have to mean the end of your business (or your future)
From growing up in competitive South Africa, navigating the credit crunch, and even dealing with a visa scare, Gary’s journey helped him develop the steady, down-to-earth approach founders rely on most when the pressure is intense.
We bust one big myth: rescue experts aren’t just “undertakers.” Gary explains the difference between saving a company and saving the actual business. Protecting jobs, value, and know-how even if the legal structure has to change. He walks through real, usable options like HMRC time-to-pay plans, creditor deals, pre-pack sales, managed wind-downs, and even simple strike-offs, and when each one makes sense.
