The Problem
Where this usually goes wrong
A sole trader setup that worked at $200k becomes a tax and liability problem at $2m. The right structure protects your assets and lowers your tax. Switch at the wrong time and you trigger CGT and duty you could have avoided. The timing and the method decide the cost.

Australian businesses operate as sole traders, with no legal line between business debts and personal assets (ABS, June 2026). We help you move to a structure that protects what you've built.
Did you know?
Moving assets or changing ownership can trigger capital gains tax and stamp duty, even when no money changes hands. The available concessions depend on your circumstances, so the structure and timing need to be checked before you act.
