Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to register a business in Australia?
Most ABN and business name registrations are completed within 1 business day. For Pty Ltd company and trust registrations, processing usually takes 1–3 business days, depending on how quickly ASIC and the ATO process the applications.
What’s the difference between an ABN and a business name?
An ABN (Australian Business Number) is used to identify your business for tax and invoicing purposes. A business name is the public-facing name your business trades under. If you’re not using your legal name or company name, you’ll need to register a business name with ASIC.
Is ASIC registration included in your company setup fee?
Yes — our Company Registration (Pty Ltd) package includes all ASIC fees, along with legal documentation such as the company constitution, share certificates, and minutes of the first director meeting.
Can I register for GST later if my turnover increases?
Absolutely. If your business revenue crosses the $75,000 GST threshold, or if you want to register voluntarily, we can handle the GST registration with the ATO at any stage.
Do you help with setting up a corporate trustee for a trust?
Yes — we offer corporate trustee registration as an add-on to our Discretionary Trust setup. We’ll register the company, issue all documents, and ensure it’s correctly linked to the trust deed.
Can I register multiple services at once — like ABN, GST, and a business name?
Yes. Many clients bundle services such as ABN registration, GST setup, PAYG withholding, and business name registration together. We’ll quote you a fixed package based on what you need.
Is this a one-off service or do you offer ongoing support?
Our business setup services are one-time, but we offer ongoing support through BAS lodgements, payroll, bookkeeping, and virtual CFO services — tailored to your business stage.
What’s the difference between a sole trader and a company?
A sole trader operates the business as an individual, while a company (Pty Ltd) is a separate legal entity. Companies offer limited liability and better scalability but require more compliance. We can help you choose the right option.
Do you register Discretionary or Family Trusts for investment purposes?
Yes — our Trust Registration service covers both business and investment use. We provide a legally binding discretionary trust deed, including documents for trustees, settlors, and beneficiaries.
Do I need a business name if I’m using my own name?
No. If you trade using your personal legal name (e.g. “John Smith”), a business name isn’t required. But if you trade under a name like “Smith Designs,” you must register it with ASIC.
Will I receive proof of registration?
Yes. You’ll receive all official registration documents — such as your ABN certificate, ASIC business name certificate, or Company Registration certificate, depending on the service you choose.
Are your services available across Australia?
Yes — we assist businesses in all Australian states and territories, including NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, NT, and ACT. Everything is handled online, securely, and promptly.
