About the Event

Logan Office of Economic Development (LOED) has partnered with Small Business Financial Counselling Service (SBFCS) and Mathews Tax Lawyers to present you with this workshop.

Commencing a business is difficult with many decisions required to be made. One of the first decisions that needs to be made is what business structure to use. The business structure might be a sole trader, partnership, company or trust. This decision affects many legal relationships, as well as tax. This series of workshops will provide an overview of important tax considerations that people about to commence a business should consider.

This workshop will cover the four main types of business structures available in Australia:

• Sole Trader
• Partnership
• Company
• Trust

Each structure has its unique advantages and disadvantages, impacting administration, tax obligations, and personal liability.

The workshop will guide you through choosing the right structure, considering factors like business size, income potential, risk exposure, and growth plans.

Attendees will also have the chance to consult with experts to ensure their chosen structure aligns with their business needs and goals.
