Enterprise Structure & Design

Your structure should be working for you, minimising tax, protecting assets, and positioning your wealth to grow. If no one has ever sat down and designed it properly, it probably isn’t doing any of those things.

Structure designed for your complexity
Tax minimisation through entity design
Asset protection from litigation and risk
Trusted by business owners turning $2M and above

At Toohey Reid we specialise in the design and redesign of corporate structures for established business owners and high-income professionals. Most of the clients who come to us have a structure that grew organically over time — without anyone ever stopping to ask whether it was right.

The result is almost always the same. Too much tax. Too much exposure. And a structure that made sense ten years ago but no longer reflects the complexity of the business or the personal wealth sitting alongside it. We audit what you have, identify where the gaps are, and design a structure that minimises tax, manages risk, and positions your wealth to work harder.

Memberships

The difference between a good business and a great one is rarely the product or service. It is almost always the strategy behind it.

Most business owners are too close to the day-to-day to see where the real opportunities are. We provide the outside perspective and the financial clarity to close that gap.

Structure Review & Design for Established Business Owners

If your business has grown but your structure has not kept pace, you are likely paying more tax than necessary and carrying more risk than you realise. Our structural review process starts with an honest assessment of what you have, followed by a clear recommendation for how it should be redesigned. No jargon, no complexity for its own sake. Just a structure that works.

What is enterprise structure design and why does it matter?
Enterprise structure design is the process of reviewing and redesigning the legal and financial framework of your business. This includes your company structure, trust arrangements, asset ownership, and entity relationships. A well-designed structure minimises tax, protects assets, and positions your wealth to grow more efficiently. Most business owners have a structure that was set up quickly and never properly reviewed. That gap costs money and creates risk.
How do I know if my structure needs to be reviewed?
If your business has grown significantly, if you have acquired assets, if your entity structure has never been formally reviewed, or if you are paying more tax than you feel you should be, a structural review is worth having.
What does the restructuring process involve?
It begins with a full audit of your existing structure, including all entities, ownership arrangements, and interentity relationships. From there we identify the gaps and prepare a clear restructuring recommendation. Once agreed, we manage the implementation and provide ongoing review to ensure the structure continues to perform as your business evolves.
Can restructuring affect my existing tax position?
Yes, and this is why it needs to be done carefully and with a full understanding of your current position. Our team manages the tax implications of any restructure as part of the process, including CGT considerations, small business concessions, and rollover relief where applicable.
Do you work with high-income professionals as well as business owners?
Yes. Many of our structure clients are lawyers, specialists, and senior professionals with significant personal income, investment properties, and a growing personal balance sheet. The structural principles are the same. The specific strategies differ based on your income type and personal position.

The right structure does not just save tax. It protects everything you have worked to build.

A poorly designed structure is not just inefficient. It is a liability. One unforeseen event litigation, a failed business, a relationship breakdown and a structure that was never properly designed can cost you everything.
