New Entity Setup Faqs

Your setup questions, answered.

What business structure should I choose?

The right structure depends on your goals, expected income, risk profile and future plans. We explain the advantages of sole traders, companies, trusts and partnerships before recommending the most suitable option.

Can Cotchy register my business?

Yes. We can manage your ABN, TFN, GST registration and company registration, ensuring everything is completed accurately and efficiently.

Can you help after my business is established?

Absolutely. Many clients continue working with Cotchy for bookkeeping, accounting, tax planning and ongoing business advice as they grow.

How long does business setup take?

Timeframes vary depending on the type of entity being established and the registrations required, but we aim to complete the process as efficiently as possible while ensuring everything is done correctly.

Can you help if I'm not in Melbourne?

Yes. Cotchy works with businesses throughout Australia using secure cloud accounting software and online collaboration, making location no barrier to receiving expert support.
