When to Transition From Sole Trader to Company

When Should You Incorporate?

Many businesses consider moving from a sole trader to a company once profits reach around $135,000, as this pushes income into higher personal tax brackets.

Other triggers may require an earlier transition, including asset protection needs, hiring employees, or purchasing high-value equipment.

While the profit threshold is a common guide, the right timing depends on risk exposure and long-term business goals.
