I'm setting up a creative business and want to structure it so that a portion of our profits sit in a special fund we use to create our own stories in prose, theatre and video. Currently I own a pty ltd company, and two creatives are keen to work with me on a freelance capacity, and I'll set aside 50% of the profit from jobs we do through the company, putting that into a story fund. What's the best way to structure this fund's usage, particularly when someone decides to leave the arrangement?

I am going back and forth about whether to register a business (sole trader or partnership) vs registering a company. We are startup creative production house (up to now we've been making student films and personal independent projects) and given the nature of industry (creative arts - music/film/tv), I am sure we are going to run at a loss. Having said that I want to protect myself and team within the business. What is your suggestion or recommendations?

I would like to start a business, helping restaurant owners renovate their shops. What tax deductions can the restaurant owners claim? Can they claim services on renovation? Can they claim tax deductions for the services I provide them?

Hi simplyaskit community,

I'm looking for a lawyer to draw up agreements for my small business. I need to draw up a business agreement for new parties to sign and help write T&Cs for contracts and competitions. What sort of lawyer would I need to approach? Can an expert on this platform assist?

Thank you,
Natalie

I have a small Automotive Engineering business that currently turns over around $50k per year.
Started out with big plans 5 years ago but has now become a one man part time operation from home workshop, and I work full time for someone else.
It's still registered as a company (PTY LTD) but with operating costs like accounting fees etc it feels like it's not worthwhile.
Would appreciate advice on pro's and con's of sole trader vs Hobby business?

As the importance of company culture is widely recognised for not only financial success, but also staff retention, job satisfaction, and productivity within the business, I’m wondering, what strategies have others found effective in building and promoting a positive and high-spirited team culture?

I'd like to start my own business building furniture.

While I have the majority of the tooling required, to do it properly, i'd need to upgrade some of it, issue is i don't have the capital to do so.

Is a business loan the best option here? or would a personal loan be better given the total required would be under 10k?

I have a great idea for a new startup. There's definitely a market for it because no other company (that I know of) is servicing this niche, but I have no idea where to start. Where do I go from here?
