How long does it take to set up an SMSF?
Typically two to four weeks from initial conversation to a registered, contribution-ready fund. ATO registration is the longest single step.
Is there a minimum super balance to start an SMSF?
The ATO doesn't impose a hard minimum, but $150,000+ across all members is the working threshold where SMSF costs become reasonable against fund returns.
What is a bare trust and why do I need one?
A bare trust holds the property's legal title while the SMSF holds the beneficial interest. It's the structure that lets your SMSF borrow under an LRBA.
Can I live in or rent a property owned by my SMSF?
No. The sole-purpose test prevents related-party use of SMSF residential property. Commercial property leased back to your own business is the exception.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Annual accounting, tax return, audit and ASIC fees typically run $2,500 to $4,000 per year, depending on complexity. Our fixed-fee package is transparent up front.
Can I buy both residential and commercial property?
Yes. SMSFs can hold residential investment property and commercial property, including premises leased to your own related business at arm's-length rates.
Can I transfer an existing SMSF to SMSFSupa?
Yes. We handle deed updates, trustee changes, and full administration handover with no transfer fees and minimal disruption to your investments.
What happens after I submit the enquiry form?

We provide accounting, SMSF establishment and ongoing administration. Financial product advice is referred to licensed financial advisers in our network.
Is my information secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use bank-grade onboarding and document signing platforms with audit trails on every action.
