STARTING A BUSINESS

Setting up a business is exciting, however it can easily become extremely difficult if you are not well prepared from the start. Ross Accounting can help you plan for success by assisting you with making your key business decisions. Your choice of business structure depends largely on the type of business, the size, your personal circumstances and projected growth. Your business structure is integral to your success as it can determine your: tax liabilities, responsibilities, personal liability, asset protection and ongoing costs.

Types Of Business Structures:

1. Sole Trader

2. Partnership

3. Company

4. Trusts

COMPANY FORMATIONS

Before forming a company, you must first decide if a company’s business structure suits your needs. A company lets you conduct business throughout Australia as it is its own legal entity. This allows you to make use of special privileges, such as limited liability and corporate tax rates. Ross Accounting can help you navigate the intricate processes of company formations by handling your application and ensuring that you understand your obligations and all of the relevant details.

TRUSTS

A trust is an obligation that has been imposed on a person or entity to hold property for the benefit of beneficiaries. Trusts are not separate legal entities and they are frequently used for asset protection and investment purposes. Whether you are considering asset protection or estate planning, Ross Accounting can provide you with legal and financial advice to ascertain what trust is most suitable for you.

  • Fixed trusts
  • Unit trusts

  • Charitable trust

SELF MANAGED SUPER FUNDS

Self-managed super funds (SMSFs) are a great way to save for your retirement. A SMSF is different to other types of funds as the members of a SMSF are the trustees and run the fund for their personal benefit. This means that they are solely responsible for complying with the relevant law. Simply put, if you set up a SMSF, you are in charge. It’s a huge financial decision that requires time and skill. Ross Accounting specialises in establishing SMSFs, so come in and speak with our SMSF advisers to help you weigh up the pros and cons and whether it is the right decision for you.
