Frequently Asked Questions

Why is choosing the right business structure important?

Your business structure affects how you pay tax, protect your personal assets, meet legal obligations, and plan for future growth. Choosing the right structure from the beginning can make managing your business easier and help you avoid unnecessary costs or complications later. If your business has grown or changed over time, it may also be worth reviewing your current structure.

A company is a separate legal entity that owns assets and operates the business in its own name. A trust is a legal arrangement where a trustee manages assets for the benefit of beneficiaries. When deciding between a company vs trust, it’s important to consider factors such as taxation, asset protection, ownership, and your long-term business goals. Professional advice can help you determine which option is best for your circumstances.

Not every business needs a family trust. However, a family trust may be suitable if you want greater flexibility in managing assets, distributing income, or planning for the future. The right choice depends on your financial situation, business goals, and family circumstances. Seeking family trust advice can help you understand whether this structure is appropriate for you.

It’s a good idea to review your business structure whenever there is a significant change in your business or personal circumstances. This could include starting a new business, bringing in a business partner, purchasing major assets, expanding your operations, or planning for succession. Regular reviews help ensure your structure continues to support your current and future needs.

Harvey Myles provides practical advice tailored to your individual circumstances.
