As commercial legal advisors, we've often been asked by clients to explain the difference between a trust and a company. When deciding which one suits your business the best, there are a number of things to consider and that's what this episode is all about.
To help us bring depth to this discussion, we brought on board Greg Will, the principal of the accounting practice, Armstrong Dawson. Greg is no newbie in this field. He has a long history of experience as an accountant both as principal of his practice Armstrong Dawson but also through his history as a partner within first and second tier professional service firms.
Greg brings us a really interesting perspective on the differences between trusts and companies, which one should be used and when as well as issues that he has seen in the use of these structures. This is valuable listening to anyone who is interested in the concept of structure or if you're structured through a company or a trust and you really want to understand how that works and why you've been structured that way.
