    Im not a tax or risk adviser

    but surely if the business falls over due to whatever, having a limited compnay that in reality costs cents to build and maintain, is better than a lower cost sole trader with all the family jewels at risk

    Im fully ok with expect the best, plan for the worst

    But Plan for the worst then

    Just wondering if any brokers are a HashChing, 1300HomeLoan member? What are your experience? I think about running a business similar to Hashching but having more features/functionality for the brokers' back office.

    Thanks a lot for your advice.
    I definitely run under a company name as I can not risk my personal asset loss. Also, as I will run an online business (I have sharp my online business niche yet), it is very high risk. Therefore, a business run by a company will be safer.
    I will listen to all your advice.

    Don't forget it could be a very valuable business too one day. So you need legal advice on how to own that company. And/or whether it should be acting as trustee.
