Start Strong, Grow Confident: Strategic Business Setup & Company Structuring
Start your business or investments on the right foundation – with clarity, confidence, and long-term protection.
Why Your Business Structure Shapes Your Success
Choosing the right structure is one of the most important decisions you will make when launching a startup, investing in property or shares, or restructuring your business for growth. Your structure determines how much tax you pay, how well your assets are protected, and how smoothly your business or investment portfolio scales over time.
At Simpli-Tax, we help founders, investors, and growing enterprises across Australia make informed, future-proof decisions. Our focus is simple: protect what you have built, minimise tax legally, and give you the peace of mind to grow with confidence.
Our Business Setup & Structuring Services
We offer end-to-end guidance to ensure your business or investments are structured correctly from day one. Every recommendation is tailored to your goals, risk exposure, and future growth plans.
Structure Advice & Selection
Tailored Structures That Protect, Perform & Grow With You
Not all structures are created equal – and not all businesses fit the same mould. We don’t pull a generic structure off the shelf. Instead, we assess your risk profile, expected revenue, personal asset position, and long-term strategy to recommend the most effective structure, such as:
- Sole Trader - Fast, simple setup with basic compliance
- Partnership - For shared ventures and collaborative operations
- Company (Pty Ltd) - Ideal for growth, liability protection and tax flexibility
- Trusts (Family or Unit Trust) - For asset protection and long-term investment planning
Whether you’re moving from hobby to business, planning for future scaling, or building a property/share investment portfolio, we guide you through the structure that best suits your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Top Business & Structuring Questions - Answered Clearly
What business structure is best for a startup?
It depends on your risk level, income expectations, and long term plans. Most startups benefit from common structures such as Trusts and a Pty Ltd, but we will assess your situation before recommending anything.
Does a Trust help protect assets?
Yes, depending on your situation, a Trust can offer a strong layer of protection and flexibility – especially for property and share investment – when set up correctly.
Do I need an ABN and TFN to start trading?
Yes, an ABN is required to operate a business in Australia, and a TFN is needed for tax purposes.
When should I register for GST?
GST registration becomes mandatory once your turnover reaches $75,000. Some businesses choose to register earlier for strategic benefits.
Can I convert from a sole trader to a company later?
Absolutely! We assist many clients with restructuring as they grow or take on more risk.
What does an ASIC registered agent do?
We manage annual reviews, prepare solvency declarations, update company details, and ensure all ASIC obligations are met on time.
