Frequently Asked Questions About Company Setup

Setting up a company provides numerous benefits, including liability protection, a clear legal structure, and enhanced credibility with clients and suppliers. However, it may not be necessary for every situation, such as for sole traders or partnerships. Our team can assess your business needs and recommend the most suitable option.

A limited liability company protects your personal assets by limiting your liability to the business’s debts. It also provides tax advantages and is a popular choice for many businesses. We can guide you through the implications of forming a Limited Liability Company and help you decide if it’s the right choice for your business.

The right company structure depends on your business goals, size, and operational complexity. Whether you need a sole trader setup, a limited liability company, or a look-through company, we provide expert advice to ensure your structure supports long-term growth and compliance.

LTCs can offer unique tax benefits by passing profits and losses directly to shareholders, making them suitable for specific scenarios like family-owned businesses. However, they also come with additional compliance requirements. Our team will help you evaluate whether an LTC aligns with your business goals.

Shareholders should be individuals or entities aligned with your business vision and willing to invest in its success. Choosing shareholders requires careful consideration of governance, control, and profit-sharing arrangements. We can help you understand the legal and operational implications of your decisions.

Directors play a critical role in managing the company and ensuring compliance with legal obligations. Directors should be experienced, trustworthy, and aligned with the company’s strategic objectives. We provide guidance to help you choose directors who will contribute positively to your business.

A company constitution is not legally required in New Zealand but can be beneficial. It outlines rules for company governance and decision-making, providing clarity and reducing disputes among shareholders and directors. We can help draft a constitution tailored to your company’s needs.

The number of shareholders depends on the type of company you establish. For example, a private limited company requires at least one shareholder, while other structures may have different requirements. We clarify these requirements and ensure compliance with commercial laws.
