Do You Own A Business & If So Have You Looked At Estate Planning?

Estate planning for small business owners is more complex because the business is often both a family asset and an operating vehicle, creating tax and other complexities.

If a business owner dies unexpectedly, the outcome depends on the business structure, ownership documents, control arrangements and available liquidity.

Also poor estate planning can create tax leakage through badly timed asset transfers, loss of CGT concessions, inefficient super death benefit outcomes, trust control errors and forced sales.

How Much Super Do You Need To Retire Comfortably In Australia?

Most people approach this question from the wrong direction. They focus on the size of the super balance, when the real issue is the income that balance can generate over time.

The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) provides widely used benchmarks, estimating that a comfortable retirement requires around $54,000 per year for a single person and $78,000 for a couple, but this can vary depending on several factors including home ownership and location.

If you'd like to delve into this further, check out this article, which provides answers to all of the most common questions.

How Are Business Advisory Services Supporting Small Business Owners?

Running a small business in Australia is both rewarding and challenging. Between the challenges of finding and retaining new clients, delivering an exceptional customer experience, managing cashflow, suppliers, staff etc., many owners find themselves too busy working in the business to work on it.

Small businesses form the backbone of the Australian economy. According to the Australian Small Businesses And Family Enterprise Ombudsman, there were over 2.5 million actively trading small businesses (those employing 0-19 employees) in 2024, which is around 97.2% of all Australian businesses. Yet, many operate with limited financial visibility and no formal strategic plan.

Business advisory services go beyond traditional accounting. Instead of only reporting on what happened last year, business advisory services help you plan what comes next through strategic and tactical planning.

Advisory services target the following business outcomes:

✅ Improve profitability and cash flow
✅ Analyse key financial drivers
✅ Identify risks and opportunities
✅ Strengthen business structure and tax efficiency
✅ Support long-term growth and succession planning

This article outlines the challenges business owners are facing, the specifics around how advisory services are contributing to business growth, trends shaping advisory services into 2026 and real-world examples.
