It is a shame that you think all business operate like that. My business is now solely run by myself. ever had any more than 2 extra people working for me at any one time and at this situation I now operate by myself. Currently getting over skin cancer issues. My business helps people with disabilities like my wife. The comany structure was a result early in my business before I met my wife.

Don't be too critical about smaller business as they employ 80% of Australia's population. I am still trying to acheive sole dependency for my wife an I and I believe that once i can do that I will be able employ more people. Obviously people like yourself may not be able to get a job with a company like mine if that is how you feel.

The issue with Centrelink was that any profits that I made which I am legally not allowed to use would be classed as an income. The profits were used as cashflow for the business the next financial year to help with staff as well the business in general. So here is an income that that reduced my wifes pension but according the Company law was not allowed to touch. It took 5 years to find a settling point and unable to employ any one else until I can get my wife off the pension.

Fortunatley I can contract a person now to handle work while I being treated for my health.
