The Benefits
An Australian Business Number (ABN) is a unique number that identifies your business to the government and community. All businesses operating in Australia need an ABN to pay taxes, hire employees, open a bank account, and more. We can assist with filing the application and receiving your ABN.
You may need to register for GST and other business taxes based on your annual turnover. We can analyse your situation to advise which tax registrations apply, walk you through the process, and help you understand ongoing compliance. Services include registering for GST, PAYG instalments, FBT, income tax, state taxes, fuel credits, and more. We can also assist with tax planning and filing.
Register a Company If you want to incorporate and register a company rather than operate as a sole trader, we will guide you through the entire process. This includes advising on business structures and liability, checking availability for your proposed company name, completing ASIC (Australian Securities & Investments Commission) registration, obtaining the certificate of incorporation, and advising on post-registration compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
You can check if a business is registered in Australia by searching the Business Registration Service database. This free online service allows you to search by entity name, ABN, or ACN to verify registration info and documents lodged. It covers ABN registration status, business name and company registration information, and other public records. You can also use the Australian Business Register's ABN Lookup tool. We recommend confirming any registration questions with your accountant or registered agent.
The cost to register a business name in South Australia is currently $42 for one year or $98 for three years, paid to ASIC upon lodgement of the application. The fee is the same nationwide, thanks to uniform business registration laws across Australia. Costs can go up if you need customised legal advice on the availability of your proposed name or complex business structures. Accounting firms may also charge service fees to facilitate the registration process and ensure correct paperwork.
Yes, you need to register your proposed business name with ASIC to trade in South Australia and the wider country. Registration gives you exclusive naming rights and other legal protections. It also prevents customers from confusing you with a separate business. We recommend registering any business name or entity before marketing, promotion or sales. The process only takes a few weeks, and we can handle it seamlessly end-to-end.
The exact registration process for small businesses depends on your structure - sole traders, partnerships, trusts, companies, etc. Key steps are getting an ABN, registering a business name if using one beyond your personal name, considering trademarks, and understanding your tax obligations based on turnover. We guide you through each aspect, from choosing a business structure to obtaining an ABN, GST registration, completing necessary ASIC paperwork, and more. With tailored advice for SA requirements, we simplify setting up so you can focus on operations. Contact us today to register your small business seamlessly.
