Why Every Australian Business Owner Needs and Estate Plan

As a business owner, you're used to wearing all the hats. But have you thought about what happens if you're not around to wear them?

Estate planning isn’t just for retirees or the ultra-wealthy - it’s for founders, freelancers, and anyone who wants to protect their business, family, and future.

What Is Estate Planning?

At its core, it’s about making clear decisions for what happens to your assets and responsibilities if something happens to you. That includes:

  • A Will that covers your personal and business assets

  • Power of Attorney (POA) for financial decisions

  • Enduring Guardian for healthcare decisions

  • Testamentary Trusts to protect vulnerable beneficiaries

What Happens Without a Plan?

  • The government decides how your estate is divided

  • Your business may be frozen or wound up

  • Your family faces uncertainty during a difficult time
