Business Structures

If you're thinking of starting a business or professional practice, or if you're currently in business you’ll need to look at the advantages and disadvantages of each different business structure and work out which structure best suits your needs.

Setting up the correct business ownership structure is an important part of your overall tax planning, asset protection and estate planning.

The four most common types of business structures in Australia are:

  1. Sole trader: an individual operating as the sole person legally responsible for all aspects of the business. Like other structures, as a sole trader you can employ people to help you run your business.
  2. Company: which is a legal entity separate from its shareholders.
  3. Partnership: an association of people or entities running a business together but not as a company.
  4. Trust: an entity that holds property or income for the benefit of others.

  • legal liability
