SMSF Trustee

Hi,

We are looking to start our own SMSF. There are 2 options either we can be the trustees in our own names or we can establish a company that is the trustee. I am not sure what the benefits of doing it via a company trustee are. Can anyone explain what the pros and cons of these options are?

Thanks in advance

Hi Merlin,

I'd read this first:

Trustees responsibilities

Then:

Are you trying to achieve a specific goal with using a SMSF?

Cheers,

Dan
