Investment Strategies for Australian Businesses in 2019

The year 2019 presents unique opportunities for businesses to invest in growth. From acquiring new assets to reinvesting profits into innovation, this blog will explore strategies for making smart investments that drive business success.


In 2019, Australian businesses are presented with a dynamic economic landscape, offering numerous avenues for investment. Strategic investments can drive growth, enhance competitiveness, and ensure long-term success.

Key Investment Strategies

  1. Asset Acquisition: Investing in new assets, such as advanced machinery or technology, can improve operational efficiency and productivity. The Australian government's instant asset write-off scheme allows businesses with an annual turnover of up to $50 million to immediately deduct the cost of assets costing less than $30,000.

  2. Innovation and Research: Reinvesting profits into research and development (R&D) fosters innovation, leading to new products and services. The Australian Government offers R&D tax incentives to encourage businesses to invest in innovation.

  3. Market Expansion: Exploring new markets, both domestically and internationally, can diversify revenue streams. Australia's strong trade performance, with exports reaching $438.1 billion in 2018, highlights the potential benefits of market expansion.

  4. Sustainable and Responsible Investing: Aligning investments with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria can attract socially conscious consumers and investors. In 2019, responsible investment funds in Australia grew to AU$1,149 billion, reflecting a 17% increase from the previous year.


By strategically investing in assets, innovation, market expansion, and sustainable practices, Australian businesses can position themselves for success in 2019 and beyond. Staying informed about government incentives and market trends is essential for making informed investment decisions.
