Whether you’re launching a new business or reorganising an existing one, we ensure you start on the right footing.”

Business Structuring Advice

The Right Structure From the Start Saves You a Lot of Pain Later

One of the most consequential decisions you’ll make as a business owner is choosing how to structure your business. Sole trader, company, trust, partnership — each one comes with different tax implications, different levels of asset protection, and different obligations. Get it right early and your structure works quietly in your favour for years. Get it wrong and restructuring later is expensive, disruptive, and sometimes impossible to do cleanly.
At OzLedger, we help you choose and set up the right business structure for your specific situation — with a clear explanation of the trade-offs so you can make an informed decision.

What This Service Covers

Our business structuring advice covers assessment of your current or proposed business activities, comparison of available structures and their tax and legal implications, advice on asset protection strategies, family trust and discretionary trust setup and planning, company establishment and shareholder agreements, restructuring advice for existing businesses that have outgrown their current setup, and coordination with legal advisers where necessary for more complex arrangements.

Why Structure Matters More Than Most People Realise

Tax Outcomes Vary Significantly Between Structures

A sole trader pays personal income tax rates on all business profit. A company pays a flat 25% or 30% rate. A trust can distribute income to family members in lower tax brackets. The difference in tax paid over ten years can be substantial.

Asset Protection Isn't Automatic

Operating as a sole trader means your personal assets are exposed if something goes wrong in the business. The right structure puts a legal boundary between your business risks and your personal wealth.

Changing Later Is Costly

Restructuring an established business triggers capital gains tax, stamp duty in some states, and significant legal and accounting costs. Getting it right at the start is almost always cheaper.

How It Works

We assess your goals, income, asset position, and risk profile, walk you through the most suitable options, and implement the recommended structure — handling all the registrations and documentation from start to finish.
