Many individuals find themselves asking how to register a company. It is not something that is common knowledge to most; however it is a vital step in starting your company and getting started the right way.

When a new business attempts to register a company incorrectly, it runs the risk of receiving fines, extended processing times and even business closure. For this reason it is often recommended that a business looking to register a company look into seeking the aid of a professional.

Of course there are hard ways and easy ways. Go here To find out more about understanding Company Registration processes

Doing business as a sole trader certainly has its advantages.  From the relative ease in setting it up, to the avoidance of possible double income taxation, there is no question that if you wish to start small on your own, perhaps the structure of a single proprietorship or of a sole trader may be the right one for you.

If you dream big, however, and foresee the growth of your business, then you may have to consider the advantages of establishing a limited proprietary company instead of being a sole trader.  Here’s why.

A limited proprietary company is an incorporated entity.  Its existence starts upon the issuance of the ACN by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (or ASIC).  As a juridical entity, existing corporation laws consider the limited proprietary company as a business set-up that is distinct and separate from that of the sole shareholder or member.

As such, the liabilities of your company do not become your personal liabilities.  Your company’s creditors will not necessarily be your own creditors.  This is particularly important when your business may one day hit a financial down cycle.

And if you are a sole trader and this happens here is where it can get very bad. Go here to find out more about Sole Traders Versus Pty Ltd Formations.

Company registration doesn’t need to be complex and can be very simple.

Once you have decided that you wish to set up a Pty Ltd Structure (or been advised) all you need to do to register your new company is to complete simple order forms either online or via printed forms and send them to a registered agent or go to an ASIC office.

There are 3 main options for registering your new company:

• Lodge a document with ASIC yourself. This is the cheapest option. It will only cost $400. You have to physically go into ASIC offices and apply for the company. As with everything though you get what you pay for. You will only receive the certificate of registration and no legal paper work ie: Constitutions etc
• Go through your accountant or solicitor, this is a very common option. The only thing to consider here is most of these services use 3rd party providers such as ourselves to register companies and add there costs and extra to the price.
• Use an ASIC registered agent service such as Companies Now. This is your fastest option which represents great value as you get the legal documentation for the company at great prices. Please note that your personal situation may require you to seek legal council before starting companies but if you know that you will be incorporating then this is a great option.

There are many questions that must be asked when creating a new company, and it is not hard to understand why; there are many intriciate processes in starting up a new business or company. One of the biggest questions on company owners minds is whether or not you need to have an ACN as well as an ABN.

In fact, most people aren’t actually aware that an ABN is provided by the Australian Business Register not by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) like an ACN is. This article seeks to outline the differences between an ACN and an ABN, and the circumstances in which an ABN would be required. It also discusses the significance of displaying either your ACN or ABN for legal reasons, and how they may affect you and your company. Read more here
