@aarohime: Nobody tells immigrant students they can actually start a business in Australia. Here is exactly how 🇦🇺 Can a student on a visa start a business here? - Yes. As long as your visa conditions do not restrict business activity. Most student visas allow it. Always check your specific visa conditions first. ABN or Company Registration? What is the difference? - An ABN is for sole traders and freelancers. It is you running a business as yourself. A company registration creates a separate legal entity. More protection, more credibility, but more responsibility and cost. How much does it cost? - ABN is completely free through the ATO website. Company registration through ASIC costs around $576 for a proprietary limited company. That is a one time fee and then annual review fees after that. What is a Director ID and do you need one? - If you register a company you need a Director Identification Number. It is a unique identifier tied to you as a director. Apply through the Australian Business Registry Services. It is free and takes about 15 minutes online. What are the criteria? - For an ABN you need to be running a business or intending to. For a company you need to be at least 18, have a Director ID, and have a registered Australian address. As a visa holder you can be a director as long as your visa permits it. Who helps you set it all up properly? - @CLM Advisors helps immigrant students and new migrants structure their business the right way from day one. Tax, registration, super obligations, all of it. Start smart, not just fast 🙂 #StartABusinessAustralia #ImmigrantEntrepreneur #ABNAustralia #CompanyRegistration #LochanKhanal
