Sole traders, partnership, company or trust?  It’s not a decision to be taken lightly.
Sole traders, partnership, company or trust?  It’s not a decision to be taken lightly.
Choosing whether your business venture should be set up as a trust, company, partnership, or as a sole traders is an important decision.
There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration before a decision is made about your business structuring. Even if your business entity has been trading for some time, most businesses will go through a period where their objectives change and consideration should also be given as to whether you business structure should also evolve.
When deciding on the most appropriate structure for you, much consideration should be given to the amount of financial risk associated with the particular business activity and what level of protection is needed based on the relationships and the number of parties involved.
A list of advantages and disadvantages can be made for each of the four main structures, but the best decision for you needs to be made in collaboration with you – based on your unique circumstances, objectives, the nature of your business activities and the people involved.
