Self-employed people can choose their favorite business name, provided that the name has not been used by other enterprises. For the company, it is easy to search the name, because the company office can help you search the name, but the name of the special dealer is not registered. Traders can use this search tool, but this is not a complete search. Another option is to search on the yellow pages website, because it should be able to use similar names to attract other companies.

It's very important to tell the tax bureau that you are now a self-employed person when starting a business. This is very important major accident insurance. If ACC doesn't know that you are self-employed, it may not pay any claim. This will also ensure that the tax bureau will send you the correct tax bill at the end of the tax year, and you can apply for legal business expenses.

Even if you are only set up as a part-time individual trader, it is recommended to use a separate bank account. This is to ensure that bookkeeping is easier. To do this, you need to have the business number of the tax bureau. This may be the same as your personal number, but it depends on your business type. Enterprises can file their own tax returns, or they can hire bookkeepers or accountants to serve them.

If you want to register a company, you need to consult an accountant and a lawyer, because they can handle it for you.

If you want your business to earn more than $60,000 in 12 months, you need to register for goods and services tax. Even if you don't want to pay more taxes, registration is still good for you, because you can claim GST back for all legal business expenses.

At present, there is little help in providing grants and other funds for small enterprises, especially those that have just started. The New Zealand Department of Trade and Enterprise may have some funds available, but this is usually reserved for existing enterprises.

If you are a trader among registered professionals, you still need to do this. Certification by professional organizations will only help your business. For example, if you work as a plumber or electrician, you may find that you can only find your customers after you register.
