Frequently Asked Questions

Anyone over 18 can register a company in Australia. At least one director needs to be an Australian resident, and you’ll need a physical address to receive official documents.

Registering a company in Australia shouldn’t be complex. By streamlining the process, we’re cutting out the hassle so you can focus on doing what you do best.

  1. Register for a director ID if you haven’t got one already
  2. Fill out the simple online form with all the relevant details
  3. Pay the company registration fee
  4. You’re done!

We’re here to help if you need a hand with company registration.

If we need to contact you for anything, such as ASIC rejecting your first application or conflicts with your company name, one of our local team will be in touch.

ASIC requires you to complete an annual review, which involves:

  • Updating company details
  • Declaring solvency (your ability to continue operating)
  • Paying a fee

While this isn’t technically a company registration renewal, you can think of it like an annual check-in.

We help you manage the annual review process so you never need to worry about missing ASIC’s strict reporting deadlines or misreporting company information.

We send a confirmation within minutes after you register a company through our online portal. This contains your ACN (Australian Company Number) and Certificate of Registration.

If you don’t see the email within 12 hours, check your junk folder then get in touch so we can help immediately.

ASIC sends a Corporate Key in the mail a few days later. This gives you access to ASIC’s online portal in case you need to update any information.

We simplified company registration so it should only take 5-10 minutes through our online portal.

ASIC then needs around two days to process your application. We’ll keep you updated so you can get to work right away.

We charge a one-time company registration fee of $799, which includes:

  • ASIC company registration fees
  • Our processing costs
  • Support from an expert local team
  • Personalised help if you need it

There’s more good news. Your fees are immediately tax deductible to help you reduce the cost of registering a company.

Yes! Provided your preferred company name is available and meets ASIC’s acceptability guidelines, you can register a name as unique as you are.

Did you know: Business names and company names are different. Your company name, which normally ends in “Pty Ltd”, is your official registered designation. However, a company can register multiple business names, which are like ‘trading names’ but more official.

A proprietary company – where your company name ends in Pty Ltd or Proprietary Limited – is the most common type of registration. This is suitable for most small to medium ventures.

If you need to register a special type of company, such as a partnership, trust, co-operative or Indigenous corporation, our team can provide personal support.

Caysie called to confirm my address after mail had been returned to sender. It was refreshing and very much appreciated that she followed up with a personal phone call. I tried to change my address everywhere amid the chaos of our recent house move - but there are a lot of places to keep track of for that. Thanks Caysie for not letting my address change just fall into the abyss!
