Making a Start - PO Box

Making a Start - PO Box

When establishing your business, you may also want to consider whether to rent a PO Box as your business mailing address. I decided that I wanted one as I am running my business from home and wanted to keep my address private. I can now use a PO Box address throughout my business, including email footers, invoicing, and receipts. I can also use it as my business address with ASIC and ATO.   

I filled out a form I downloaded from Australia Post to begin the process. Then, I went into my local post office, submitted the form, showed some business identification, and paid the annual fee ($20 setup fee and $144 annual fee for a small box). I was then handed two keys and shown to my PO Box. The whole process was very straightforward!
