Commercial lawyers in Chatswood can assist you when setting up your business in a variety of ways, like ensuring your business is compliant and legally protected. A commercial lease lawyer in Chatswood could also assist with drafting or reviewing a lease document relating to your business operations.

When setting up your business, it’s not just the initial ‘big idea’ that’s important – it’s ensuring the business is set up correctly so you can legally trade when the time comes, along with good planning and making effective and timely decisions.

You can start a business as an adult at any age.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve worked in a corporate company as an employee your whole life - it could be the perfect time in your life to change gears professionally, and embark on a new journey.

Here are some of the main steps to ensure your business is set up correctly:

Steps When Setting Up A Business

1. Deciding on your business structure. A commercial lawyer in Chatswood can assist when making business decisions or completing required paperwork.

Options include: 

• Sole-trader structure - which is one person who is legally responsible for the business
• Partnership – which is where two or more people or entities have joint responsibility for the business and work as partners and income is jointly received
• Joint venture structure – is similar to a partnership but is only set up for a particular purpose or a single project, as opposed to ongoing business operations
• Company structure – which is an entity that is set up separate to any business owners and has the rights of a person meaning it can sue or be sued
• Trust structure - which is an obligation on a person known as the trustee to hold property or assets for the benefit of others who are known as beneficiaries 

2. Register your business and apply for an ABN
3. Apply for any required business insurance
4. Finalise or write your business plan outlining your objectives, target market, marketing plan and financial plan for your business
