Published 5 October 2026
A business structure can affect ownership, decision-making, compliance tasks, fundraising options and how the business interacts with customers and suppliers.
Before choosing, clarify how many owners will be involved, how decisions will be made, whether outside investment is planned, and how much administration the founders can manage.
Tax and legal consequences depend on the details of the business and current rules. Compare options with an appropriately qualified professional before registering.
