Frequently Asked Questions:

What is an ABN?

An ABN (Australian Business Number) is an 11-digit identifier issued to businesses by the Australian Business Register. Every business, whether a sole trader, company, trust, or partnership, must have an ABN to operate legally. It is used for tax purposes and must appear on business invoices and documents. An ABN also indicates the status of a business as ‘active’ or ‘cancelled.’

What is an ACN?

An ACN (Australian Company Number) is a 9-digit number issued to companies by ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission). It identifies companies as separate legal entities distinct from their shareholders and directors. If your business is a company, it will have both an ACN and ABN. The ACN must be displayed on all company documents.

What is the difference between a Partnership and a Joint Venture?

A partnership involves two or more individuals or entities running an ongoing business together, sharing responsibilities and liabilities. A joint venture, on the other hand, is usually a temporary collaboration between parties for a specific project or transaction. Joint ventures allow businesses to pool resources while maintaining separate legal identities.

What does Pty Ltd mean?

‘Pty Ltd’ stands for ‘Proprietary Limited.’ ‘Proprietary’ indicates that the company is privately owned, meaning its shares cannot be offered to the public. ‘Limited’ refers to the limitation of liability for shareholders, which is capped at the value of their shares. This structure is common for small and medium-sized businesses in Australia.

What is a "going concern" for tax purposes?

A “going concern” is a GST-free sale of a business under Australian tax law. To qualify, the business must be sold as a functioning, ongoing entity. Both buyer and seller must meet specific criteria for the sale to be considered GST-free, making it important to structure the transaction correctly.

Are Commercial Lawyers and Corporate Lawyers the Same?

While both practice areas may overlap, they are distinct. Corporate lawyers typically focus on company formation, governance, mergers, and acquisitions. Commercial lawyers, however, handle legal issues related to business operations, including contracts, transactions, and compliance.

Do All Businesses Need Commercial Lawyers and Corporate Lawyers?

Most businesses benefit from having both commercial and corporate legal support. Whether dealing with structuring, contracts, or governance, the expertise of commercial and corporate lawyers ensures that your business stays compliant with legal obligations and avoids costly issues.
