When starting a business, there can be several registrations to consider.
Which ones you need depends on how your business is structured and what it does.
Rather than treating registration as a completely separate exercise, we prefer to consider it as part of getting the financial foundations of the business organised correctly.
Registration Support May Include
Depending on your circumstances, we may assist with:
Australian Business Number (ABN) applications
business name registration support
GST registration
PAYG withholding registration
PAYG instalment considerations
company registration/setup support
TFN-related registration matters where applicable
other relevant business registrations within our service scope.
Who Might Need This Service?
This may be useful if you're:
starting your first business
moving from employment into self-employment
becoming a contractor
starting a new company
setting up a family business
launching an online business
starting a trade or mobile service business
establishing a professional practice
adding another business activity.
Registration Is Only the Beginning
Getting an ABN doesn't automatically mean the financial side of the business is properly set up.
A new business should also think about:
a separate business bank account
record keeping
accounting software
invoicing
GST
tax
cash flow
payroll if employees will be engaged
putting money aside for future obligations.
This is why we connect registration support with the broader business-setup process.
Common Questions
Can't find your question? Email us.
Do I automatically need to register for GST when I get an ABN?
No. GST registration requirements depend on your circumstances and applicable rules.
Should I register a business name?
That depends on how you intend to trade and your circumstances. We can help explain the accounting and registration process and identify where further advice may be required.
Can you register a company for me?
We can assist with company setup and registration within our service scope and coordinate with other professional advisers where appropriate.
