Business Startup Advice

It is very important that you choose the correct business structure that suits your situation. This will determine the way in which your business will be run and managed, including providing other benefits such as personal asset protection and tax minimisation. The business structure can be a partnership, company, trust or a sole trader. It is possible to change a structure once the business has commenced trading, the process of ending one and establishing a new structure is often quite onerous, tedious, time-consuming, and costly.
