Podcast Episode: S05 – E03 – The Art of Business Structuring
Getting your business structure right from day one can make or break your long-term success. In this episode, Stuart and Mena unpack the often-overlooked art of business structuring and why it’s essential to align your entity type with your business goals, industry risks, and future plans.
Whether you're building a lifestyle business, planning to raise capital, or hoping to sell for maximum after-tax value, your structure matters. They explore the different structuring paths—sole trader, partnership, company, or trust—and the strategic implications of each.
From protecting intellectual property and limiting exposure in high-risk industries, to minimizing tax through efficient profit distribution and CGT concessions, this episode is packed with practical insights. Stuart and Mena also delve into state-based issues like stamp duty, land tax, and fringe benefits tax, which are often missed in the planning phase.
If you're starting a new venture or considering a restructure, this episode is a must-listen to ensure you set your business up for success, scalability, and strong exit potential.
