Webinar: Breaking Down Agricultural Business Structures
Starting up a new business, returning to a family business or simply reviewing a current business structure can be an overwhelming process. In particular, the varying business structures available to you under the lens of agriculture can come across as complicated.
Future Farmers Network and their partner CQU Australia are pleased to be delivering a short webinar on 2 May for young agriculture professionals that provides a top-level overview of Agricultural Business Structures.
Whether you’re setting up your own agricultural business or walking into an existing one, this short 30 minute webinar will give you the skills you need to understand the most common top-level agricultural business structures.
The webinar will be led by CQU Australia lecturer, Desley Pidgeon – a qualified financial planner who has worked predominately in Agribusiness banking.
The session will provide the introduction to the most common business structures in Australia, briefly touching on the pros and cons of each with a focus on tax implications within the structures.
The session will conclude with questions that you will need to consider when deciding on the best structure for your current situation and/or what you might do in the future.
FFN and CQU invite you to submit questions through the registration process so that we can adapt the webinar appropriately.
