New Company, SMSF, Family Trust

Forming a new Company, SMSF or Family Trust

Companies, SMSF’s and family trusts are common vehicles for holding you business, retirement and financial interests.

There are complex Accounting, Tax, Financial and Legal issues associated with each of them, and it is essential for you to seek appropriate professional advice before proceeding with setting them up.

We can assist you with the Accounting, Tax and Financial Advisory aspects. You will need to consult your solicitor for Legal advice.

We can also liaise with your solicitor, ASIC, ATO and other third parties to help you get set-up.

How long does it take?

  • Once we receive all the required information from you, the process is usually quick. Whilst we quote a 24-hour turnaround for the initial registration, it is usually under 2 hours for regular SMSF’s and Family Trusts, and under 3 hours for companies and corporate trustees.
  • Registration by the ATO of the ABN, Tax File Number, and GST Registration will take longer.

What does it cost?

Costs vary depending on the complexity of the structure and situation, the number of shareholders, members, office holders, trustees, beneficiaries and other parties involved, and other factors.

We will provide a written quote in advance based on the information you provide us.
