OZ lander Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Hi there... Has anyone registered a small business and applied for a trade mark after landing? We have a state sponsored visa 176 ... Does that have any restrictions on owning a business? We are moving to Canberra Jan 2014. Appreciate any advice on this. Thanks!

Chardy Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 You just need an ABN - Australian Business Number to be self employed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Yes, my OH worked for himself in WA on a PR visa. He needed to register a business name (since he wasn't using his own) and get an ABN. This isn't the same as setting up a limited company in the UK (& that is still an option in Australia too) it is more like being a sole trader in the UK.

What is the registering body for an ABN and its website? And can anyone please tell me the requirements for obtaining an ABN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardy Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 http://abr.business.gov.au Apply online and you'll see what criteria you need to meet, just drop out of the application before the end until you're ready. You need your TFN number first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ lander Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thank you all for your responses. Sorry for the late reply ... Been travelling a bit. So basically I gather I need a TFN first to apply for a ABN AND I can do this with a 176 visa. Thank you... Very helpful! Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
