Business Start-Up
If you have a good idea for a new business venture, but don’t have expertise in the financial aspects of creating a new business, we can help you:
- Decide on the most suitable structure for your business — Sole trader, partnership, company or trust
- Prepare a business plan, cash flow projection, budget, and trading forecast
- Assess your finance requirements and advise you on the best sources of finance
- Establish a good working relationship with your bank
- Register for an Australian Business Number with the Australian Taxation Office
- Complete registration procedures with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (if required)
- Deal with company secretarial issues (if required)
- Set up a recording system for your internal use and for complying with statutory requirements
Our experience has shown us that the best plan is to establish your business correctly from day one as there are a lot of items to consider and organise when you are starting a new business venture.
We look forward to working with you. For more information or to arrange an appointment, visit our contact page.
