What is an SMSF trustee company?

An SMSF trustee company is a Pty Ltd company whose sole purpose is to act as trustee of a single self-managed superannuation fund. Using a corporate trustee (instead of individual trustees) is generally recommended by SMSF specialists because it separates fund assets from personal assets, keeps trusteeship stable when members change, simplifies member changes and reduces the risk of technical breaches when a member joins or leaves the fund.

Why a special-purpose constitution matters

A special-purpose company constitution restricts the company’s activities to acting solely as trustee of a superannuation fund. This is what allows the company to qualify as a “special purpose company” for ASIC annual review purposes — which usually attracts a lower annual review fee than a standard company. Our SMSF trustee company setup includes this special-purpose constitution at no extra cost.

How long does an SMSF trustee company registration take?

Most SMSF trustee companies we register are lodged with ASIC and the certificate is available in your dashboard within 15–30 minutes of payment. Your accountant or SMSF administrator can then use the ACN to set up the fund itself, the bank account and the ATO registrations (ABN, TFN, GST if applicable, and election to be regulated as a self-managed super fund).

Do I need a corporate trustee for my SMSF?

You are not legally required to use a corporate trustee — you can have individual trustees instead — but most SMSF specialists recommend a corporate trustee. It is also effectively required if the fund has a single member, or if the fund will borrow to buy property under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement (an LRBA), because most SMSF lenders require a corporate trustee.
