Smart Legal Foundations for Start-Ups

The early days of a business move fast—and it’s easy to skip over the legal stuff. But setting up strong foundations early can save you from bigger headaches later. We help you map out your responsibilities, risks and decision-making rules from day one.


That includes shareholder or partnership agreements, ABN and ACN registrations, business name protection and advice on compliance with Australian consumer and employment law. If you’re planning to bring on investors or scale, we’ll also help structure your documents to suit.


You don’t need to have all the answers—we’ll ask the right questions and guide you through what matters most for your business today, and as it grows.

Setting Up with Our Business Structuring

Great structuring isn't just about launch—it’s about longevity. We help make sure your structure supports your business as it grows, adds staff, expands services or takes on funding. If something changes—like a new partner, a business split or rebranding—we can adjust your structure to suit.


We also advise on how structuring affects tax, personal liability, asset protection and exit strategies. You’ll understand where you stand legally and financially, with documentation that’s clear, current and legally sound.


It’s about setting your business up for long-term security—not just ticking a box at the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is business structuring and why is it important?

    Business structuring refers to the legal and financial framework you choose for running your business—such as a sole trader, partnership, company or trust.


    It impacts how you’re taxed, who’s liable for debts, how profits are shared and how you can raise capital. The right structure depends on your business size, goals and level of risk tolerance.

  • What is the best legal structure for a start-up?

    There’s no single answer—it depends on your situation. Sole trader is the simplest and cheapest, but offers no liability protection.


    Companies are better for growth and investment but come with more reporting requirements.


    Partnerships or trusts suit some shared or asset-heavy businesses. A lawyer can help weigh the pros and cons based on your plans.

  • Can I change my business structure later?

    Yes, but it can be complex and costly depending on how your business is set up. That’s why it’s best to get advice before you start. If you need to switch later—like moving from sole trader to company—we can help manage the transition legally and financially, including tax implications and updating agreements.

  • Do I need a lawyer to set up my business structure?

    While you can register a business structure yourself, a lawyer helps ensure your setup meets legal obligations and protects you from future disputes or liabilities.


    This includes drafting partnership or shareholder agreements, reviewing contracts and advising on how your structure will affect tax, ownership and operations long term.
