Businesses can gain tax efficiency, business model efficiency and operations efficiency by achieving proper structuring during business set up. Business priorities change as a business evolves, for example, a startup may be interested in saving compliance costs, but an established company would be interested in achieving tax efficiency, or a growing company bringing in more investors and capital would likely be keen on managing risks.
