Business set up and maintenance

Registering Your Company

Most real estate businesses operate under a company structure. A company, as a separate legal entity, offers protection for your personal assets, and you're not personally liable for the company's debts. Additionally, a company can bring tax advantages and increased flexibility as your business expands.

Our company setup service includes:

• Consultation on structure and setup requirements
• Required resolutions and consents from shareholders and directors
• Company constitution
• Registration with ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission)
• Registration certificate, members register, and share certificates.

Shareholder or Partner Term Sheets and Agreements

Agreements among business owners and partners are essential to clarify crucial matters related to business management and ownership. These agreements address decision-making authority, capital utilization, restrictions on shareholder actions, share transactions, and more. A well-drafted Shareholders Agreement provides certainty for owners and management regarding business operations. LR Group Legal offers extensive experience in assisting businesses with these arrangements and crafting suitable agreements.

Website Terms and Conditions

If you operate a website, you likely provide online services and make representations about your business while linking to other sites. It's important to have comprehensive terms of use for your website that cover:

• The basis of providing the site
• Limitations of liability
• Ownership of site materials
• Responsibility for third-party links
• Legal jurisdiction governing the site.

Employment and Contractor Agreements

Your employees are among your most valuable assets, but they also pose risks to your business. They have access to confidential information and intellectual property, which leaves with them at the end of each workday. Ensuring compliance with employer obligations and managing the complexities of contractor agreements is vital. LR Group Legal can assist you in creating standard agreements that safeguard your business and provide clarity to your employees about their terms and conditions of employment.

Corporate Affairs

After establishing your business, it's crucial to maintain your status with ASIC, keep your company details up to date, and fulfill annual lodgements. Industry regulations also necessitate ongoing compliance efforts. Our Business Health Check packages offer continuous services to help you remain compliant and up to date.
