CASE STUDIES
Structuring a Multi-Location Retail Business
Creating a Scalable Structure for Retail Expansion
Issue
A Gold Coast-based retail business planned to expand to multiple locations but had concerns about liability, profit distribution, and maintaining operational control. Without the right structure, the owner risked financial exposure and operational inefficiencies.
Strategy
New Wave Law recommended transitioning the business to a company structure, which provided liability protection and allowed for centralised management across multiple locations. We also implemented shareholder agreements to define roles and responsibilities for investors in future expansions. Finally, we worked with the client’s accountant to optimise the structure for tax efficiency.
Outcome
The retail business successfully expanded to three locations within 18 months, with a scalable and protected structure in place. The owner had peace of mind knowing their personal assets were shielded, and investors were aligned on operational goals and profit-sharing terms.
Structuring an Ecommerce Business with Patents
Protecting Intellectual Property for an Ecommerce Business
Issue
A growing Gold Coast Ecommerce business had recently patented an innovative product. However, their existing sole trader structure left their intellectual property and personal assets exposed to potential risks, including legal disputes and creditor claims.
Strategy
New Wave Law recommended transitioning the business to a trust structure with the intellectual property housed in a separate holding company. This ensured the patents were safeguarded from operational liabilities. We also drafted licensing agreements that allowed the operating entity to use the patents while generating royalties for the holding company.
Outcome
The new structure provided robust protection for the business’s intellectual property while creating a clear and efficient framework for growth. The owner was able to secure partnerships with distributors and investors, confident that their assets were fully protected.
