Build Your Business on a Solid Foundation

The Right Start is a Smart Start.

A great business idea is just the beginning. The decisions you make before you even open your doors are critical to your future success. Proper business planning and choosing the correct legal structure can save you thousands in tax, protect your personal assets, and position you for sustainable growth. At Roy A McDonald Pty Ltd, we specialise in helping new entrepreneurs and established businesses navigate these crucial early stages. We’re here to translate your vision into a viable, well-structured business.

Our Business Setup & Planning Services

From Business Plan to Company Registration

We provide end-to-end support to get your business off the ground, ensuring you are structured for success from day one.

Choosing the Right Business Structure

This is one of the most important decisions you'll make. We'll walk you through the pros and cons of the main business structures to determine the best fit for your specific situation, considering asset protection, tax implications, and future goals.

  • Sole Trader: Ideal for individuals starting out, offering simplicity and full control.
  • Partnership: For businesses with two or more owners, requiring a clear partnership setup and agreement.
  • Company: A separate legal entity that offers asset protection when you register a limited liability company.
  • Trust: A more complex structure offering flexibility for asset protection and tax planning

Strategic Business Planning

A solid business plan is your roadmap to success. We assist with preparing a plan that goes beyond just words. We focus on the financial viability of your idea, helping businesses of all sizes - from startups to established companies set and achieve realistic financial goals.

Company Formation & Registration

Navigating the process of registering a new company can be complex. We handle the administrative burden for you, assisting with:

  • Registering your company name with ASIC.
  • Applying for an Australian Business Number (ABN) and Tax File Number (TFN).
  • Registering for GST and PAYG withholding where required.

Why Your Business Structure Matters

Setting Yourself Up for Future Success

The structure you choose impacts everything from your annual tax bill to your personal liability if things go wrong. Getting it right from the start ensures you are:

Tax-Effective:

Operating under a structure that minimises your tax burden legally.

Protected:

Separating your personal assets from your business liabilities.

Scalable:

Positioned for future growth, whether that means taking on investors or eventually selling the business.

Compliant:

Meeting all your legal and financial obligations from day one.
