Sole Trader & Partnership
Sole Trader & Partnership Setup
Starting a business is easier when the foundations are tidy. We help you understand the practical differences between operating as a sole trader or partnership, get the registrations in place and set up record keeping that will not become a rescue mission at BAS time.
01
Choose a workable starting structure
We explain the practical tax, administration and reporting differences between common structures and help you identify questions that may require legal advice before you commit.
- Sole trader versus partnership considerations
- ABN and business-name requirements
- GST registration considerations
- Record keeping and banking separation
02
Set up the essentials
Once the structure is decided, we can help with the accounting and tax registrations and make sure your systems are ready to capture the information needed for lodgements.
- ATO registrations
- GST and PAYG considerations
- Cloud accounting setup
- Chart of accounts and bookkeeping workflows
03
Start with habits that scale
A business that begins with simple monthly routines is much easier to manage as revenue and complexity increase.
- Reconciliation routines
- Receipt and document storage
- Invoice and expense workflows
- Calendar of tax and lodgement obligations
