Business Structure

Business structure is one of those decisions that feels administrative on day one and turns out to be one of the most consequential you make. Getting it right early is cheap. Restructuring later is not.

Advisers discussing business structure options across a table

Choosing the right structure

We work through the trade-offs for your situation — asset protection, tax outcomes, the cost and effort of compliance, how you intend to bring in partners or investors, and what happens when you eventually exit. Then we give you a clear recommendation with the reasoning, not a list of options to puzzle over.

Setting it up properly

Company registration and ASIC compliance, trust deeds, ABN, TFN and GST registrations, shareholder and unit-holder arrangements, and the internal record keeping that keeps the structure standing up if it is ever questioned.

Restructuring an existing business

If you have outgrown your current structure, we map the path across — including the stamp duty, capital gains and small business rollover implications — so you know the real cost and the sequence before anything moves.

Working with your other advisers

Structure sits at the intersection of accounting, tax and law. We coordinate directly with your tax agent and solicitor so you are not the one relaying messages between professionals.
