There are a variety of business structures that can be used by a client for the purpose of carrying on a business or for the purpose of maintaining investments such as property, shares or managed funds.

Each business structure has certain advantages and disadvantages, and a careful analysis should be undertaken to determine the most appropriate business structure that best meets the personal needs and situation of the particular client.

In this regard we are able to provide such assistance, and can provide appropriate information to clients in relation to the operation and taxation consequences of formal business structures such as:

• Sole Proprietor
• Partnerships
• Companies
• Unit Trusts
• Family Trusts, and
• Self Managed Superannuation Funds.

With the client's consent, we are able to arrange for the formation of these business structures usually within a 24 hour to 48 hour time period.

Having an appropriate business structure in place may have taxation and legal liability advantages, and it is essential therefore that clients seek professional advice in this regard.

We can also arrange for Tax File Number registration, ABN registration, GST & PAYG registration, and the registration of Business Trading Names with the Queensland Office of Fair Trading.

The above-mentioned services are provided through our associated company - Frederiks Corporate Services Pty Ltd (ABN 16106608360). This company also provides clients with specialist ASIC Corporate Compliance services.
