Professional vs Amateur
Thu, 22 Dec 2005, 02:31 pmCan anyone point me in the direction of info about the differences between setting up a professional company vs an Amateur one.
Am I naive in assuming the major difference is that some people might get paid ?
cheers

There are huge differences. but whether or not you choose to set up an amateur company or a professional organisation it will need to be run as a business. Each will need such things as public risk insurance. Not sure where you are but in most states there's a somemthing like the Department of Fair Trading (NSW) that will have guide lines for a constitution for an amateurt incorporated organisation... that at least contains your financial risks in setting up an amateur company.
Should you choose a professional organisation and I'm assuming that this is just for a single production why not consider a cooperative? I'm not even sure that Equity doesn't have some guide lines as to the setting up of a cooperative if not Las Mama in Melbourne, which oversees a lot of cooperative work, might be able to help.
