Do I really need a business plan or budget?

Even a simple one can help you stay on track, make confident decisions, and improve your chances of success.

How do I know which structure is right for me?

We’ll help you decide based on your business type, size, risk level, & long-term plans.

What are my lodgement obligations?

It depends on your business structure and whether you’re registered for GST, have employees, or run a company or a trust.

Choosing the Right Business Structure

At Lockyer Accounting & Tax, we believe that one of the most important steps when starting a business is choosing the right business structure. The structure you choose can impact how much tax you’ll pay, how much control you have, your setup and running costs, and how well your personal assets are protected.

There’s no one-size-fits-all option. The best structure will depend on your type of business, how you want to operate day-to-day, and your long-term goals. And the good news? You’re not locked in forever — your business structure can be changed as your business grows or your needs change.

If you’re not sure where to start, we’re here to guide you through the options and help you make the right decision from the beginning.
