    I’ve read a heap, but one thing I’m still not too sure of is if I will I be better of investing personally, as a business or as a company, if I wish to be able to draw an income from my positive investments?

    Currently I’m leaning towards registering a company and having a dividend pay. If anyone could shed any light on this matter, or has any recommendations it’d be greatly appeciated.

    Why not start slowly and grow with what you have.

    If you are starting out why not look at a simple Trust Structure with you as a Individual Trustee.

    If you start accumalating properties then by all means look at replacing the Trustee with a Corproate Trustee but i would not suggest that you go to that expense for a single property.

    A Trust will give you the benefits of Asset protection as well as being able to distribute your income to the beneficiaries and reduce your Tax Liability.

    Hi Mark
    We have bought and used Wealth Guardian and it is extremely good at explaining the Company, Trust structure and the advantages and disadvantages of other structures. All this without the accountant fees.
    Worth every penny.
