Business Formation and Structures

Choosing the right legal structure is an important step for a new or growing business. The structure you use can affect ownership, governance, decision-making, liability, funding arrangements and future transactions. Tax and accounting issues should be reviewed with the appropriate adviser, while our Sydney commercial lawyers can assist with the legal documents and business structure considerations.

At Biz Lawyers & Advisory, we assist clients with company, partnership, trust and shareholder arrangements, business setup documents and restructuring steps. Whether you are starting a new venture, bringing in business partners or reviewing an existing structure, our goal is to help you put clear legal foundations in place.

Services we provide:

  • Business structure advice: We explain common legal structure options, including sole trader, partnership, company and trust arrangements, and help you understand how each option may affect ownership, control and legal obligations.
  • Formation and setup documents: We assist with the legal documents needed to establish or restructure a business, including company, partnership and trust-related documentation where appropriate.
  • Partnership and shareholder agreements: We draft and review agreements that record rights, responsibilities, decision-making rules, profit distribution, exits, dispute resolution and governance arrangements.
  • Corporate governance: We assist with board, director, shareholder and management arrangements so responsibilities and approval processes are clearly recorded.
  • Restructuring and reorganisation: If you are changing ownership, bringing in investors or reorganising business assets, we can assist with the legal steps and related commercial documents.

We also assist with related commercial documents, including commercial contracts, shareholder agreements and sale or purchase of business transactions.

Related Legal Guides include how to choose your business structure and director ID requirements.
