Select the best business structure

Choosing the right structure is critical for liability protection, taxation, and scalability. Fintax Group experts recommend:

Sole Trader: Simple, low-cost entry. Ideal for freelancers. Income reported on your personal tax return.
Partnership: Suitable for multiple owners. Requires a clear partnership agreement.
Proprietary Limited Company (Pty Ltd): Limited liability protection. Preferred for growth, investment, and credibility. Corporate tax rates apply (25% for base rate entities).
Trust: Excellent for asset protection and tax distribution. Requires professional setup.

Many clients start as sole traders and convert to a Pty Ltd as they grow. We provide tailored advice to ensure tax efficiency and compliance.
