Client Story
We recently assisted a client in Cooroy QLD, who has been wanting to purchase a commercial premises for their business to trade from. They didn’t quite have enough equity to do this in their business, but with careful planning with their accountant and the team here at The Broker Society, we were able to assist them in purchasing the commercial property within their Super Fund as a SMSF. Now remember, SMSF Properties cannot be rented to related parties or yourself, but the rules are a little different for Commercial Property SMSF and as we mentioned above, it’s great to get the right advice before diving in.
