In Australia, the four most common business structures are:
Sole trader: This structure involves operating the business as an individual, where you are personally responsible for all debts and liabilities.
Partnership: A partnership is formed when two or more individuals or entities agree to run a business together. Typically, a partnership agreement outlines the terms of the partnership.
Company: A company is a separate legal entity from its owners. It is an ideal structure for individuals or entities looking for long-term growth and success in their business.
Trust: In a trust structure, a trustee holds property or income on behalf of beneficiaries. This structure is often used for asset protection and tax planning purposes.
Our team of business and commercial lawyers can provide you with a deeper understanding of these different structures and help you determine which one is most suitable for your business.
When it comes to setting up a trust for your business, there are several important considerations to keep in mind. At Prime Lawyers, we specialize in assisting businesses with trust establishment, ensuring a smooth and legally compliant process.
There are various types of trusts available for both businesses and individuals. These include unit trusts, where assets are held on trust for the beneficiaries or unit holders; testamentary trusts, which are associated with wills; and discretionary trusts, commonly utilized by families.
Trusts serve as a popular business structure, enabling the trustee to hold property or income for the benefit of the beneficiaries. However, setting up this type of trust can often be complex, requiring expert guidance from a commercial lawyer.
