Business Setup

Start your business on the right foot

Choosing a structure and registering for the right things is the part most people rush. We walk you through it in plain English, handle the paperwork, and set you up so tax time is never a surprise.

Why the set-up matters

The decisions you make in your first few weeks affect how much tax you pay, how protected your personal assets are, and how much admin you do every quarter. Getting them right early is far cheaper than fixing them later.

How we work

  1. Free 30-minute consult. We learn about your plans and explain your options. No jargon.
  2. We recommend a structure. You get a short summary of what we suggest and why.
  3. We register everything. ABN, GST, business name, company or trust as needed.
  4. We set up your books. Your accounting software, bank feeds and invoice template, ready for your first sale.

Good to know

  • An ABN is free to apply for. You’ll need one to invoice other businesses.
  • You must register for GST once your GST turnover reaches $75,000 a year ($150,000 for non-profits). Taxi and ride-share drivers need to register from day one.
  • If you trade under a name other than your own, you need to register a business name.
