Overcoming adversity and building legacies

Whether you’re a startup or small enterprise, our dynamic business strategy sessions ensure your company can adapt and succeed throughout every lifecycle. We’ll kickstart the journey by pinpointing what fuels your company’s unique purpose to define a clear mission statement. Then we’ll dive deep into your industry niche, analysing target audiences, market trends, potential risks and competitors to build a solid business model made to last.

Thanks to our diverse industry experience, we know the ins and outs of each industry, from hospitality and retail to construction, transport and logistics.

While there’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach, our planning sessions always help you:

  • Define and refine your specific business vision and mission
  • Identify competitive strengths and weaknesses
  • Determine short and long-term goals and objectives
  • Identify Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and craft a detailed action plan
  • Build accurate customer or client profiles

Tax structuring for startups is all about building a solid foundation for your business to minimise tax headaches and maximise long-term savings. With the right tax strategy, you can keep more of your hard-earned cash, stay compliant and consistently fuel your startup’s growth.

Our experienced tax professionals can help you:

  • Pick the best legal structure for your startup (sole trader, partnership, company, or trust). Your selected system will impact your income tax, Capital Gains Tax (CGT), and compliance requirements.
  • Take advantage of tax concessions and benefits.
  • Implement strategic Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Planning when selling assets or shares (CGT discounts).
  • Utilise Employee Share Option Plans (ESOPs) to attract and retain talent and receive tax concessions.
  • Understand GST requirements and registration thresholds.
  • Handle all payroll tax obligations
  • Consider the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) implications and exemptions if you provide non-cash benefits to employees.
  • Claim Research and Development (R&D) incentives
  • Ensure timely and accurate tax reporting (Business Activity Statements, income tax returns, etc.).
  • Communicate tax strategies and implications to investors, covering the tax impact on early-stage investments, equity offerings, and exit strategies.
  • Manage international tax considerations, transfer pricing, and Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) if you plan to expand globally.
  • Maintain meticulous financial records to support your tax claims.

Some quick answers for you

Business advisors are beneficial at every stage of your business cycle, from startup to expansion to succession. They can help you identify and reach your goals, extend the capability of managers and staff, negotiate contracts and other complex documents, minimise risk and comply with regulations.

A business advisor usually collaborates with organisations to enhance performance and attain business objectives. A financial advisor assists both individuals and entities in maintaining their financial goals.

Open, transparent communication is vital for a positive advisory partnership. Here are a few tips to get the most out of our first meeting:

  1. Write down your clear, desirable outcomes – what do you want to achieve with our advisory services? What areas of your business need extra attention or guidance?
  2. Gather accurate and comprehensive business records and details (including confidential information).
  3. Ensure you’ve noted down any recent changes or transitions within your enterprise.

When deciding on your business advisory, you should consider the following:

  • Your budget – advisors may have varying fee structures and pricing models.
  • The scope of services they offer, ensuring it aligns with your specific needs.
  • Their availability – do they have sufficient time to dedicate to your business?
  • Their level of experience and qualifications – Do they hold relevant certifications and accreditations?
  • Reputation – Check reviews or request client testimonials for insights into their track record.
