Where people trip up on day one.
You don't know what to register.
ABN, ACN, TFN, GST, PAYG, business name. Google gives you six answers and four of them are ads.
Everyone says 'get a company'.
Sometimes right, often not. A company you don't need costs you $329 a year to ASIC plus extra accounting fees.
Going into it with someone else.
Mates in business with no agreement is how mates stop being mates. Structure and paperwork matter here.
You've already started, badly.
Trading under the wrong entity, no GST registration you should have, invoices with no ABN on them. Fixable.
Sole trader, company or trust?
The honest version. We'll pick with you based on risk, profit and who else is involved — not on what's most expensive to set up.
