It can be a busy time starting your own business. But it’s important not to let super end up on the bottom of the priority list. Here’s some things to consider.

What sort of business are you starting?

Will you be a sole trader, a partnership, or will you have employees?

These are important questions, because Cbus has two super options.

• Cbus Industry Super – for employers and their staff. Even if you consider yourself as self-employed, if you’ll be paying super for employees, this is the super option for you and your employees.
• Cbus Self-Employed Super – for sole traders and those in a partnership. If you’re working on your own, Cbus has a self-employed product designed especially for you. Subject to the Government's rules, you can contribute as much as you want, whenever you want.

Get your super together

If you’ve had a few jobs, chances are you’ve got super somewhere else. If you have, you’re probably getting hit with multiple sets of fees. Getting all your super accounts together with Cbus means you only get charged one set of fees. What’s even better is that Cbus’ fees are among the lowest in the industry.

Get some free money from the Government

Even if you’re self-employed, if you’re earning under $60,342 and you make an after-tax contribution to your super, you could be eligible for up to $1,500 from the Government. There’s no easier way to give your super a boost. Find out if you're eligible for the Government Co-contribution.
