An integral part of being a business proprietor is ensuring your business operates within an appropriate structure. Whilst owners have a choice of structures to choose from, the one selected should be sufficiently flexible to meet evolving business needs and in our view, should confer benefits such as asset protection and tax minimisation.
When a new client comes to Greenlion, one of the first matters we turn our minds to is their business structure. We spend time reviewing a client’s structure to see if it is appropriate and fit for purpose. This is an important step as good businesses are built on solid foundations. Often, as a consequence of a business evolving, what was once an appropriate structure becomes inappropriate and in some instances, a hinderance to overall business development.
A case in point was where a mid-size services company approached us to act as their Accountant. As we do with all business owners when they initially join us, we conducted a review of the business structure being used. Our evaluation revealed our client’s existing structure to be inflexible for a tax-effectiveness perspective, lacking in asset planning and compliance heavy. We suggested a new structure be adopted which would see the business and the business owners’ personal assets protected against unforeseen losses and creditors, tax minimised and the onerous, time consuming volume of compliance decreased.
Happily, our clients accepted our suggestions, and we went to work designing and implementing a new structure for them. Protection against negative out of the blue events leading to a loss of assets was put in place. Tax savings of many thousands of dollars in the first year of utilizing the structure was achieved. Compliance was dramatically decreased too, saving in both time and accounting fees.
Our clients expect their business to evolve further in the next couple of years. They envisage bringing in new partners and acquiring other complementary business. We know the structure the business now operates within, is flexible enough to accommodate these welcome developments. Best of all, our clients can continue to grow their business, confident in the belief they are doing so on a solid accommodating foundation.
