Startup Advisory
We offer startups strategic insights and practical solutions designed to support them through every stage of early growth. Our advisory services are customised to the unique needs of emerging businesses, aiding founders in establishing a solid foundation, making informed decisions, and navigating the complex challenges of scaling a business in a competitive environment.
We assist with business structuring, ensuring that the legal and tax arrangements support both current operations and future fundraising objectives. Additionally, we provide guidance on incorporation, shareholder agreements, founder equity, and cap table planning, establishing a solid foundation for investor readiness.
As startups evolve from concept to execution, we assist in implementing robust financial and tax frameworks encompassing budgeting, cash flow management, accounting systems, and GST and income tax compliance. We aim to ensure that financial operations are streamlined, scalable, and aligned with long-term objectives.
We also assist with fundraising and investor engagement by offering tax and structuring advice on equity raises, SAFE notes, convertible instruments, and cross-border investments. We ensure that transactions are structured efficiently and in compliance with regulations, thereby minimising future tax risks for both founders and investors.
As startups grow, we provide strategic guidance on hiring and compensation planning, which includes employee stock option plans (ESOPs), contractor remuneration, and incentive schemes. We assist founders in attracting and retaining top talent while managing cost and compliance considerations.
Ultimately, we aim to empower startups with the tools, knowledge, and confidence they require to scale sustainably, adapt to growth, and position themselves for long-term success in the marketplace.
