Building the Right Foundation for Your Business
The right structure protects your assets, manages your tax position, and sets your business up to grow. Getting it wrong, or leaving it unreviewed as the business changes, can create tax inefficiencies, personal liability exposure, or succession headaches down the track. We help you choose, establish and, where needed, restructure the entities that support your business.
Setting up new companies, including ASIC registration, constitutions and share structuring. We manage the registration process end to end, prepare the company constitution, set up the share structure and director and shareholder arrangements, and make sure the company is correctly registered with the ATO and ASIC from day one.
Creation of discretionary, unit and family trusts tailored to your asset protection and succession needs. We prepare the trust deed, advise on the appropriate trustee structure, whether individual or corporate, and help you understand how the trust interacts with your broader tax and asset protection strategy.
Reviewing and restructuring existing entities as your business grows or circumstances change. This might mean moving from a sole trader to a company structure, introducing a trust above an operating company, bringing in new business partners, or preparing the business for sale or succession, all managed with attention to the tax and legal consequences involved.
Guidance on the most appropriate structure, sole trader, company, trust, or a combination, based on tax, liability and succession considerations. We walk you through the practical trade offs of each option in plain language, so you understand not just what structure to use but why it fits your specific situation.
