- Change in management: Addition of a business partner might mean that you change the structure of your business to partnership from sole trader.
- Change in ownership: Acquiring a new business could mean that you need to change the structure to suit your needs.
- Financial reasons: Changing the structure might assist in meeting financial objectives and improve profitability of your business.
- Operational reasons: Internal functions and roles may have changed during this period and you may want to change the structure to reflect this.
- Business growth: Your business may have profited during this period or expanded into different areas, such as online forums, therefore requiring restructuring.
