Company & Trust setups
At Glavis Advisory, we help clients establish the right legal structures—whether that's a Private Company (Pty Ltd) or a Trust—to support their business and investment goals. Setting up a company allows you to separate personal and business assets, offering both tax advantages and asset protection. In many cases, a company structure can reduce your annual tax liability by up to 17%, which means more capital can be reinvested to accelerate long-term wealth creation.
Trusts, on the other hand, offer greater flexibility when it comes to distributing income among beneficiaries, making them especially effective for families with varied income levels. They’re also valuable tools for asset protection and intergenerational wealth planning. Whether you're looking to trade through a trust or use it to hold investments, our team ensures the structure is tailored to your financial strategy and future growth.
Company Setups
A company structure is deemed a separate legal entity, meaning it can own property, investments, operate businesses and enter into contracts, this is beneficial when you want to keep these items separate from your own personal name for tax and asset protection purposes.
At Glavis Advisory we can facilitate the setup of Private Company structures (Pty Ltd here in Australia, known as a LLC in America) for all needs, whether it be for your business or for a family group or even private investment holdings.
From a tax perspective holding investments in a company structure can save you up to 17% on the tax you need to pay each year, just by holding these investments in the company rather than your personal name, this saving then allows you to reinvest up to 17% more each year and grow your wealth quicker in the process.
Trust Setups
A Trust structure is controlled by a Trustee who has discretion on distributions to beneficiaries. Trust structures also allow for Asset Protection and Family Wealth Management as well as beneficiary flexibility, these are often underestimated structures when it comes to tax planning.
At Glavis Advisory we can facilitate the setup of Trust structures, whether this be for your Business to trade through or to hold private investments and build wealth.
From a tax perspective holding investments or running your business through a Trust means you have the flexibility when it comes to tax planning. Trust structures are beneficial for family groups especially with differing income levels.
