If you are self-employed, at some point you will consider how you want to set up your business.

This presentation will step you through the possible ways of owning and structuring a business, the advantages and disadvantages of each, as well as providing examples of the most opportune time you might take on certain structures. You will learn that there is not a ‘one-size fits all’ approach to structuring a business and that the business activity, as well as the life cycle of the business, are equally important factors in determining the right structure for your business.

About the presenter:

Stevie-Jade Turner first started working in Financial Planning in August 2009, whilst completing her last semester of university study, keen to get hands on experience before she graduated. In her first company, she spent four years progressing from her entry-level role to eventually become an Associate Advisor, primarily working with the firms ‘complex’ and highly technical client cases under the guidance of a Senior Partner, before starting to provide advice in her own right.

In 2014, she completed the Financial Planning Association’s Certified Financial Planner® certification, the highest distinction in the Financial Planning profession.

Her clients say they feel confident and in control of their financial futures.
