Company

(Pty Ltd)

The most common structure for Australian businesses, providing powerful asset protection by creating a separate legal entity. This separates your personal assets from your business risks.

Ideal for:

  • Business owners seeking to limit their personal liability.

  • Protecting personal assets (like your family home) from business debts.

  • Ventures that plan to grow, raise capital, or bring on shareholders.

Family Trust

(Discretionary Trust)

A highly effective structure for holding assets and distributing income flexibly among family members. It offers excellent asset protection and tax planning opportunities for the whole family.

Ideal for:

  • Protecting valuable family assets from business and individual risks.

  • Tax-effective income distribution to family members on lower tax rates.

  • Long-term wealth management and succession planning for future generations.

Unit Trust

A trust designed for multiple unrelated parties to hold assets or run a business together. Each person's entitlement is fixed by the number of "units" they own, much like shares in a company.

Ideal for:

  • Unrelated business partners or investors wanting to jointly hold an asset (like property).

  • Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) investing together with other parties.

  • Situations where each beneficiary's share must be clearly defined and fixed.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. As of November 2022, all company directors must legally have a Director Identification Number (Director ID) before they are appointed. You cannot complete your company registration without it. You can apply for one for free via the ABRS website using your myGovID.

  • A Business Name (or "Trading Name") is just a label that allows you to trade under a name other than your own. A Company (Pty Ltd) is a separate legal entity that can own assets, incur debt, and protect its owners (shareholders) from personal liability. Most serious businesses need both.

  • Yes. A Proprietary Limited (Pty Ltd) company in Australia can have a single person acting as the sole Director, Secretary, and Shareholder. You do not need a business partner to incorporate.

  • Registering a company gives you an ACN (Australian Company Number) immediately. You will then use this ACN to apply for your ABN (Australian Business Number) and Tax File Number (TFN) separately via the Australian Business Register. This secondary step is free and usually instant.

  • No, you are not legally required to use a lawyer. However, using a professional formation service ensures your Company Constitution is legally compliant and that your governance documents (like Shareholder Minutes and Occupier Consents) are drafted correctly, which prevents expensive legal issues later.

  • Every company must have an official Registered Office address in Australia to receive legal notices from ASIC. Yes, you can use your home address, but be aware that this address will be publicly visible on the ASIC register. Many directors choose to use their accountant’s address or a professional "Registered Office Service" for privacy.
