Changing Business Structure

01

The Challenge

Structural change sits at the intersection of taxation, capital, and control.

​

Whether restructuring for tax efficiency, preparing for capital raising, or realigning ownership, businesses face heightened scrutiny from:

• The ATO and regulators

• Existing and incoming investors

• Lenders, boards, and advisers

Current market conditions have intensified this scrutiny, driven by:

• Increased ATO focus on restructures, rollovers, and related-party transactions

• Investor demand for transparent, arm’s-length business valuations

• Capital markets prioritising governance, risk, and sustainability

• Volatile earnings and funding conditions impacting value expectations

In this environment, structural change that is not supported by a credible, independent business valuation risks:

• Tax challenge or adjustment

• Investor discounting or delayed capital raising

• Disputes between stakeholders

• Execution failure at critical transaction points

The common pressure point is clear:
Business value must be defensible for tax — and credible for capital.

We work alongside tax advisers, lawyers, and corporate advisers to deliver business valuations that are:
