Incorporated Company

Companies are registered entities that can trade like natural people with many liability and tax benefits over a sole trader.

Limited Liability:     
A Company still provides effective personal asset protection.
Taxation:                  
Corporate tax rate currently at 30% with no Medicare Levies payable. Your accountant can show you how a company can be used to effectively run your business.
Contracting:             
With recent developments on the Industrial Relations front, many organisations will only deal with Registered Companies which trade with A.C.N.'s (Australian Company Number) and A.B.N.'s (Australian Business Number)
Sole Trader:             
Now, more than ever, individuals are trading as Companies because of beneficial tax rates and personal liability issues.
Partnership:             
A Company is an efficient means of organising a group of individuals to trade as a sole structure.
Name Protection:   
When a name is Incorporated it becomes registered throughout Australia and an identical name cannot be registered in any state as a Company or a Business Name. We also advise to register a Domain Name for Internet protection.
Name availability:
You may contact us for a free name availability search or check yourself by accessing the Australian Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC) web site: www.search.asic.gov.au
The provision of this service does not guarantee that a name found not to be identical to any protected name currently on the ASIC database will be a name acceptable to ASIC under the provisions of the Corporations Act and/or Corporations Regulations.
Ownership rights to a name are not established under the Corporations Act 2001 but may exist under common law or other legislation such as the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth). The Australian Securities & Investments Commission and Company Planners Pty. Ltd. does not consider Trade Marks when determining the availability of a proposed name, nor does it accept responsibility for the registration of a name which might infringe ownership rights of another individual or legal entity.
Accordingly, ASIC and its agent, Company Planners Pty. Ltd. will not be liable for the consequences of any action or activity undertaken, or expense incurred, by a party seeking to rely upon this service as granting them entitlement to use a name.
Proprietary rights to a Business Name, Company Name, Domain Name and/or Trade Marks should be referred for professional advice to a Patent and Trade Mark Attorney. Refer to the review issued by The Australian Advisory Council on Intellectual Property (ACIP)
(website: www.acip.gov.au )
