Choosing your business structure

Choosing the best structure for your business can be difficult

There are numerous options, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks

There are four commonly used business structures in Australia:

  • Sole trader
  • Partnership
  • Company
  • Trust

It’s important to understand the responsibilities of each structure because the structure you choose may affect:

  • the tax you’re liable to pay
  • asset protection
  • costs.

You’re not locked into any structure and you can change the structure as your business changes or grows.

If you’re unsure which structure to choose, we recommend you talk to the team at Salisbury Accountants.
