How do I start a consulting business?

If you want to start your own consulting business, it's essential that you do not neglect the legal side of things. To get things started, you'll need to register your business.

If you're under a company structure, you'll need to register with ASIC. You'll also need to register your business or company name, which should not be identical to any existing ones.

The documents you'll need will often depend on your business structure. For example, if you're under a partnership structure, you'll need a Partnership Agreement. If you're under a company structure, you'll need to have a Company Constitution in line with the Corporations Act 2001.
