When you decide to establish a business it is first essential that you choose to operate within the appropriate business structure. Should you choose a company, discretionary trust (family trust), unit trust or a combination?
The answer will have a significant impact on the tax you pay and the protection of your assets.
For an overview of the two major structures watch this brief video by lawyer Brett Davies.
