The First 90 Days: Setting Up Your New Brisbane Business
Unlike a fully established startup raising capital, a brand-new business in its first three months has one job: get the foundations right before trading volume kicks in. That means choosing a structure that matches your actual risk and income (not what a Google search told you), registering only for the obligations you genuinely need, and avoiding the three most common first-year mistakes — mixing personal and business banking, missing the GST $75,000 threshold, and forgetting to track pre-trading deductions.
Our new-business onboarding is intentionally narrower than our startup advisory or growth-stage startup services. We focus exclusively on the launch phase: ABN/TFN, GST registration if needed, Xero file setup with a chart of accounts mapped to your industry, and a one-hour planning session to map your first tax return obligations. No retainer, no upsell — just a clean launch.
If you're a tradie, ecommerce seller, or service business, we can also point you at our industry-specific guides: tradies, ecommerce, and service businesses.
What's Different About a New Business vs an Established One
A new business doesn't yet have historical numbers, so traditional business advisory benchmarking doesn't apply. Instead, your first-year compliance calendar is driven by registration dates, not financial year cycles — your first BAS may cover only one or two months, your first super guarantee payment depends on when you hire, and your first company tax return may include pre-trading deductions stretching back months before your ABN issue date.
We coordinate all of this in one onboarding pack: registration dates, BAS due dates from our registered BAS agents, super deadlines, and a deduction log template for those pre-trading expenses (laptops, courses, vehicle costs, home-office setup) that most owners forget to capture. Get this right once and it pays back every year.
