Do you base your business decisions on correct and timely information? Are your assets protected? Do you pay more tax than necessary? According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, more than 60 percent of small businesses cease operating within the first three years of starting. Many of the directors don’t understand that they are ultimately liable for company’s obligations, even if you have internal accounts staff. Others don’t realise that they may be personally liable for superannuation and PAYG withholding, even if operating via company. Few talk to their accountants often enough, to help them understand their figures, check their BAS’s before they are lodged with the ATO or to do a formal tax planning process. Imagine knowing exactly how your business is performing, making it easier to make business decisions. Having the confidence that you have the right structure for your business so that not only your business but also your personal assets are protected.
