Developing a business strategy to navigate the changing environment is an area we work on very closely with our clients.
New technologies and products have changed the way we do business more in the last twenty years than the previous hundred.

Superannuation can be a major vehicle for wealth accumulation in your life. But it’s important to understand where your super money is going so you can take specific measures to maximise your return.
It’s also important to structure your investments according to the level of risk you are comfortable accepting. Super funds usually have various risk options you can choose from. With so many funds and options to choose from, it's important to take the time to set up a superannuation strategy that is right for you. The set up of a self-managed super fund (SMSF) can be an appealing option for business owners and individuals who want to control their superannuation assets. Operating as a trust, with you as the trustee and member, this option also enables other family members to join, paying their contributions into the SMSF/s bank account.
Once you have money in your fund, it needs to be invested to help you generate a return. Each type of investment carries its own potential risks and rewards and the investment portfolio you select will impact how much money you end up with when you reach retirement.
Business people, whether primary producers, manufacturers, retailers or others, must all consider the succession planning and estate planning of their business.
The impact of a poorly planned succession can be substantial in terms of taxation, administrative costs, relationships and stress, so it is essential to plan for the future handover of your business. Those SME owners who opt for a well-planned succession enjoy greater benefits, both financial and personal.
Our succession planning consultants help SME owners plan and execute the smooth succession of their business, whether it be to new owners, the next family generation or upon their death or incapacity. As required, we draw on the advice of solicitors for legal issues.
