Very professional, highly recommend! Rowan is very professional, patient, and friendly. I really appreciate his help. Front desk was also helpful. COVID-19 safety measures were properly taken.

I got amazing advice from Bruce Costain, a partner at Brookfields who specialises in corporate structuring. He answered all of the questions I had, and gave me practical advice to follow when going from a sole trader to a limited liability company with another person involved in the shareholding . Bruce explained dividend payments to shareholders and shareholder agreements. He covered pros and cons of other payout methods to each of the soon-to-be shareholders involved based on their personal tax circumstance and levels of involvement. Highly recommended!
