Housing your investments and doing business the most efficient way.

How do the rich do it?
Let’s learn some secrets.

• Individuals
• Companies
• Trusts

(Thread)👇🏽
• Introduction

I want to start by saying this; the system isn’t designed for you to win this game if you operate as a sole proprietor.

You’re eventually going to reach all your thresholds and it won’t be tax efficient anymore.

The rich know this, this is how they do it 👇🏽
• Individuals

• Easy to set up
• One man capital
• Single entity
• Risks are yours
(unlimited liabilities)

Sole Proprietor = alone

It could look like this. 👇🏽
(Pty Structures look similar)

A S/P doesn’t need a business set up, there’s no tax benefits.
-You should move through different structures as you grow your asset base/cash flow.

You need a business set up if you plan to scale - unlock tax benefits. The rich know NOT to keep all their assets in their personal name

Check out @AndreBothmaTax thread about “one man shows”
• Companies (Pty Ltd)

•Limited liability
•Separate entity
•Lower tax rates
•Costly to maintain
•Lifespan is perpetual
•Easier to raise capital.
•Tax payer in its own right
•Consists of shareholders
•Personal asset protection
•Transfer of ownership is easy
- The graph depicts the benefit of using the system to separate personal liabilities.
If you are a S/P with assets, you’ll be at risk - (unlimited liability)

The rich know this, it’s how they scale, separate assets + get tax breaks.

It’s set up to incentivize this behavior.
- Pty Ltd’s

Check @IvynSambo thread of how to set up a small business. (company)

You can register with @BizPortalGovZa to set up a South African business.
• Trusts

•Do not die-no estate duty
•Income is still distributed
•Offers tax efficiency
•Protection of assets
•Creditor protection

Most people set up trusts once they already have several companies and a large asset base.
- Trusts

You won’t just go and set up a trust, unless you need to;

Firstly,
cause its costly to maintain. It needs to be worth the amount saved in tax to make it viable,
and this comes when you have a high net-worth. The idea of trusts is to reduce tax liabilities.
- Trusts continued,

Secondly,
tax is steep in a trust (45%)

The wealthy use it as a tool to mitigate tax liabilities.
They probably have several companies already that are beneficiaries of their trusts. (Conduit principle)

Again, @AndreBothmaTax will explain it best
•How do the rich do it?

They use a combination of all three.

•They separate liabilities from their personal name
• They hide assets in complicated company structures.
• Own companies through companies and trusts.

You won’t win at the game if you don’t know how to play.
- My company, FundUp, set up our structure like this.👇🏽

We started as a stokvel, and have slowly progressed to this.

We loan capital to the business and issue shares.
We’ll eventually open recruitment to the public where we’ll try use access to cheaper capital to leverage
• How we started

It’s a long process to get to where you want to be, but start.

Build your own capital, then use bank financing to leverage, then reduce costs by recruiting members and offering them return on their capital, lower than it would cost you to borrow from bank.
These are the wealthy’s secrets

Educational Property Thread For:

• First time home buyers
• Property investors
• Current Owners

The information you need that will save you over R500 000, your marriage, and countless headaches.

Alright, let’s get to it. 👇🏽
• Interest Rates

South Africa’s historical interest rates (1956-2021)

What You should be asking;

“Are we entering into a hiking cycle”

If we are, researching is vital, you don’t want to be buying a liability, do you?

Most likely, Interest/R’s have floored and will ⬆️
• Asset or liability

Let’s settle this for once and for all. Yes, a house is an asset.

My definition though:

Asset =puts money in your pocket.

Liability = takes money out of your pocket.

The case studies in this thread will highlight the differences for you. #property

How to Earn Income

Build your Income Empire Following These Trusted Methods

(Thread)👇🏽
•Active vs Passive Income

In this thread,
we’ll be looking at ways to build a Passive Income Empire.
Dubbed PIE
#pie

First, we need to understand the differences:

-Active income:
Trading time for money

-Passive income:
Money earned that requires little effort to maintain
•Stocks

Dividends,baby!!

I see you PIE lovers sharing your screenshots when they arrive👏

Dividends are the most predictable. Companies pay them out from profits. If they use debt to pay dividends, then, I have 3 words for you; RUN, RUN, RUN

Capital - Dividends - Growth

Had a great conversation with @YoungInvestor03. What a kid, man.

Can’t go to school, but continues to learn.

We have started unpacking Renergen Ltd together #DYOR

Let’s check out some facts. 👇🏽

(Thread) 👇🏽
#DYOR Image
Renergen Ltd ($REN)

• 7 years young
• Negative earnings
• Negative cash flow
• Diluting shareholders

Yip, it’s a negative for me.
Don’t run away kicking and screaming just yet, like @YoungInvestor03 said to me, he has more time on his hands and he is willing to take on more risk.

Two things to consider here, are you:

•Risk averse
•Risk tolerant

*If you’re risk averse, then this stock isn’t for you
