Why This Matters
Company Formation Isn't Just Paperwork
Getting your business structure wrong costs time and money down the track. We've seen people start as sole traders when they needed a trust, or rush into a Pty Ltd when a partnership made more sense.
Our programs help you understand what each structure actually means for your taxes, liability, and future growth. No fluff—just clear explanations based on real Australian regulations.
- Choose the right structure from day one
- Understand your compliance obligations
- Learn what directors and shareholders actually do
- Get practical knowledge you'll use immediately
Three Ways We Help You Learn
Different people need different approaches. Pick what works for you, or combine them as your business evolves.

How Company Formation Actually Works
Most people think it's just filling out forms. There's more to it—but it doesn't have to be complicated when you know the sequence.
Structure Decision
Figure out whether you need a company, trust, partnership, or something else. This affects everything that follows—your tax treatment, personal liability, and how you can bring in partners or investors later.
Name and Registration
Reserve your company name, check it's available, and register with ASIC. You'll need to sort out your registered office address and decide on share structure before you submit.
Compliance Setup
Get your ABN, register for GST if needed, set up PAYG withholding if you're hiring staff. This is where people often miss steps that create headaches months later.
Ongoing Obligations
Annual statements, director compliance, maintaining registers. Understanding these from the start prevents scrambling when deadlines hit.
Callum Hargrave
Tech Startup Founder
"I almost registered the wrong structure because I didn't understand the difference between a company and a trust. Would've cost me thousands to fix later."
Callum joined our winter 2024 program before launching his SaaS business in Sydney. He says the course saved him from making expensive mistakes that his accountant would've had to untangle. Now he actually understands what his advisors are talking about when they discuss shareholdings and director duties.
