Issues to consider
Some issues that should be considered in relation to structuring a 'Pty Ltd' company are provided below (although the list is not exhaustive):
- What's the intended purpose of the company?
- Whether the use of a company for the purpose is appropriate or would a trust be better suited?
- How should the company be structured? Does it need to be structured to reduce unnecessary liability arising for relevant persons (such as non-at-risk persons)? Should the shares be held individually or through a separate entity?
- Will any third party (such as a bank) requires certain people to act as director and will this affect the wider objectives?
- Are there any tax issues, particularly where non-residents are in key roles in the company?
- Has the broad corporations law requirements and compliance issues (such as the rights and obligations imposed on directors) been explained to relevant persons.
If you would like us to advise you regarding the structuring of the company, please contact us at letschat@chatlegal.com.au and we can provide you with a fixed price quote to assist.
Please note that persons must consent to being appointed as a director of a company and such consent must be retained with the records of the company. It is strongly recommended that individuals are advised of the various laws potentially affecting directors of a company and the liability that may attach prior to consenting to act.
