good advice.
do you know of any draftsman that does the sketches for a few hundred coz i’ve spoken to a couple and they all charge around the $4000 figure for a one unit sketch.

and if you could direct me to a planning consultant that would be great.

i am doing this in my subject at uni which is law of investments and financial markets. we are advised, that when operating any business, and i believe holding IPs is included, you should set up a company with a discretionary trust within the company as trustee. this is the best way to minise tax.
