So Many Business Registrations!
It’s incredibly frustrating when starting a small business to figure out what you need and don’t need when it comes to business registrations.
All of this has a lot to do with individual circumstances, and there is generally no particular cookie-cutter way to go about this.
Knowing where, when and how to complete business registrations can be tricky and not always clear if you’ve done it correctly or not.
Benefits of Registering Your Business with Box Advisory Services
As any business person knows, time is money.
Save yourself the headache and frustration of figuring out what business registrations need to be lodged.
Business registrations are a key compliance tool that the ATO and ASIC use to regulate businesses. Compliance can be a slippery topic if you’re not familiar with the industry your business operates in.
Classifications, regulations and key registrations ensure that you’re accurately and registering in a timely manner to avoid future penalties in cases where you have forgotten to register.
By engaging Box Advisory Services’ small business accountants, you get peace of mind and enjoy a smoother process of business.
Business Registrations We Look After
Our business registration service suits people starting out as a sole trader, setting up a company or trust, taking on a partner, or hiring their first employee. Each of those steps brings its own registrations, and getting them right at the start saves fixing them later.
We start with structure. Before anything is lodged, we talk through whether a sole trader, partnership, company or trust suits your income, your plans and how you want to hold assets. Once that is settled, we prepare and lodge the registrations and explain what each one means for your ongoing obligations.
Applying for an ABN is free. Some other registrations, such as a business name, have a government fee, and we tell you which ones apply before we lodge anything.
Registration Timing and Your First Year
Some registrations are triggered by events rather than dates. You must register for GST within 21 days of your GST turnover reaching $75,000, you need PAYG withholding registration before you start withholding tax from wages, and a company director needs a director ID before they are appointed.
You can apply for an ABN and a business name together through the government’s Business Registration Service, and we can do that for you as part of the same job. Business names and companies are registered with ASIC.
Once you are registered, we can set up Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks so your records are organised from the first invoice, and look after your first BAS and tax return.
