Is it Time to Restructure Your Business or Change Entity Type

Posted on 10 Oct 2025

Business is all about evolution. The structure you started with may have been perfect at the time — but is it still fit-for-purpose today?

As your business grows, so do your risks, opportunities, and goals. A structure review is about making sure your setup is working for you, not against you.

When should you consider restructuring?

• Growth & Expansion
  Moving into new markets, hiring more staff, or chasing bigger contracts? The right structure can give you flexibility, scalability, and confidence to expand.
• Asset Protection
  As your business grows, so does what you stand to lose if something goes wrong. A well-designed structure can help shield both personal and business assets.
• Succession Planning
  Thinking about the future — whether that’s passing the business on, selling, or stepping back? The right entity type makes transition smoother and tax-efficient.
• Tax Planning & Efficiency
  Structures impact tax obligations. A timely review can help reduce leakage, improve cash flow, and free up resources for innovation and reinvestment.

What does restructuring involve?

Restructuring isn’t always about starting from scratch. It could mean:

• Changing from a sole trader to a company.
• Setting up a trust to protect assets.
• Reviewing shareholder agreements.
• Consolidating entities to simplify compliance.

The best option depends on where you are now, and more importantly — where you’re heading.
