Company & Trust formation

Should you be looking at changing your structure from a sole trader? 


Key advantages:

  • The law treats a company as a separate legal entity. This means that in general you will not be held personally responsible for the actions of your business. 
  • Personal assets are protected
  • Base rate entity company tax rate is 26% opposed to maximum individual rate of 45% 
  • With the use of a trust you can distribute income across the family group to minimise tax


Asset Protection:

  • Do you have personal assets you wish to protect? E.g. Family Home, shares, cash 
  • Are you in an industry with a chance of being exposed to legal action? 
  • Do you wish to separate the financial and taxation matters of the business from your own personal affairs?


Tax Minimisation:

  • Do you have a spouse or kids you can split the income with? Opportunity to make use of each family members tax free threshold of $18,200 if over 18


Business Development/ Succession Planning:

  • Do you want the business to grow in the future? Important to have structure right from the start
  • Market perception - Do you require a company to imply a certain scale and level of seriousness to clients and suppliers that a sole trader structure doesn’t match?
  • Will you be looking to sell the business at some point in the future?
