Frequently Asked Questions About Business & Company Registration
Got questions? We’ve answered the most common ones below to help you move forward with confidence.
What business structure should I choose?
That depends on your goals, income, and liability exposure. We walk you through the pros and cons of sole trader, partnership, trust, or company to help you decide what suits your current and future needs.
Can you register everything for me in one go?
Yes. We take care of ABN, TFN, GST, PAYG, ASIC company registration, and business name registration — all at once, with no confusion or delays.
Do I need to register for GST from the start?
If you expect to earn over $75,000 in annual turnover, yes. We help you determine if you need GST registration and explain how it impacts your pricing and reporting.
What’s the difference between a business name and a company?
A business name is just a trading name under your own ABN. A company is a separate legal entity registered with ASIC and has its own tax obligations and protections. We explain which option best fits your goals.
Will I receive any official documentation after registration?
Yes. We provide all formal documents including your Certificate of Registration, ABN/TFN details, constitution (for companies), and relevant ATO registrations in a secure format.
How long does the registration process take?
Most registrations are completed within 24–48 hours, depending on ASIC and ATO processing. We keep you updated and lodge everything electronically for efficiency.
Can I use my accountant as the registered office address?
Yes, we offer registered office services for companies if you prefer not to use your home or business address — ideal for privacy and professional presentation.
