Structuring your Business

The way in which you structure the legal entity for your business will be determined by many factors, such as:

  • the degree of independence you want
  • the level of risk you are prepared to take
  • the tax implications of different structures
  • how management decisions are made.

You can choose to operate as a sole trader, a company, a partnership or limited liability partnership or a franchisee. Each has its benefits and drawbacks and should be carefully considered in the context of your long-term objectives.
