We’re excited to launch a new tool to help you work out your business registrations and simplify the process of starting a business.

The tool will help you figure out the basic registrations you need to get up and running and make sure your business is protected.

All you need to do is answer some questions about your business and the tool will generate a list of required and recommended registrations, with links to all the relevant services. You can also email yourself a copy to make sure you have it on hand.

What kind of registrations can it help me with?

Business structure

The tool can help you to work out which structure is right for your business. Just answer a few questions about the business owners and assets to see which structure may be right for you – a sole trader, partnership, company or trust – and the costs and registrations associated with each one.

Intellectual property (IP)

It’s important to consider IP rights when starting a business. The tool will let you know what rights you may need to apply for. For example, if you’ve invented something you may need to file for a patent, or if you have a product with a unique design you may need to apply for a design right.

Taxes

The tool also includes a series of questions to determine which taxes you need to register for. Questions like: 

  • Do you expect to turn over $75,000 or more in a 12-month period? 
  • Will you use fuel for your business activities? 
  • Will you make, import or wholesale wine?
