Business Insight Virtual Series | Episode 4

Money - Make It, Keep It, Protect It!

Money, we need to make, we need to keep it, we need to ensure it ends up in the right hands as we progress through life. Businesses have a life cycle. Have a think where you are in your life cycle with regards to the stages below:

The Seed
Start-Up

Growth
Established

SO WHAT LIFE CYCLE ARE YOU?

Can you identify something you should do now with/for your business? Through the business life cycle you’ve made the money. How about keeping it through that cycle and beyond.

This is where structuring your business is really important. Is it a sole trader, a company, a trust. These structures all have different advantages and disadvantages.

The key to choosing the right structure is around:

Protection – you don’t want to lose your personal assets if something goes pear-shaped in your business
Family – what is your family structure – partner, kids etc. There are tax advantages that can be utilised with family members
Risk – is the business a risky business ie asbestos removal may be classified as risky
Succession planning – if you want to pass it down to family members or maybe employees

Saleability – if you are selling the business, then some purchasers need a certain structure to be able to buy into ie IP entities are normally companies so that the purchaser can buy directly into the company without affecting the contracts in place with the IP entity.
