Asking the right questions at the beginning of your business journey is important as it shapes the path you’ll be taking. You should be building out your business plan to reflect how you want your business to look in the next 5-10 years, and then building the structure to support that. Keep in mind that your business plan isn’t something you just do once and never look at again. You should be reviewing it as you progress through your journey to ensure it’s still serving the desired purpose. If you want multiple sites, equitable partners, or Research & Development (R&D), you need to be set up correctly to facilitate these goals. Changing your structure down the line can cause complications, additional tax and a significant amount of extra administration. These are all headaches you don’t need as they will take your focus away from growing your business. Our team of accountants will do the hard thinking, analysis, and strategy development to make sure your business is structured the right way, from the beginning.
