Company formation services – We help establish a limited liability company in Australia (Pty Ltd). We have formed more than 150,000 companies since 1976. Generally speaking, we can have your proprietary limited (Pty Ltd) company incorporated within one business day – subject to meeting Australia's local compliance requirements.

When you register a proprietary limited company through us you receive the following comprehensive company documentation:

• A Certificate of Incorporation from ASIC
• Company ACN (Australian Company Number)
• Company constitution
• Bank Account opening kit
• Officeholders' consent
• Consent to act as Public Officer
• Directors minutes
• Application for shares
• Share certificates
• Shareholder and officeholder registers
• Statutory registers as required
• Journals
• Printing, binding, and delivery options available

Branch establishment services – An alternative to setting up a limited liability company in Australia, we can register your foreign company directly with ASIC. International businesses will need to appoint a local agent and have a registered office address in Australia. It normally takes up to 28 days to formally register with ASIC as a foreign company (akin to establishing a branch). A limited liability company operates as its own separate legal entity whereas a branch does not offer limited liability to your existing overseas company.

When you register as a foreign company with ASIC through us you receive the following comprehensive company documentation:

• A Certificate of Registration from ASIC
• Company ARBN (Australian Registered Body Number)
• Local Agent Agreement
• Bank Account opening kit
• Officeholders' consent
• Consent to act as Public Officer
• Directors minutes
• Statutory registers as required
• Journals
• printing, binding, and delivery options available

ABN & GST registration – We provide ABN and all related tax registrations for your business.

Our ABN and tax registration services are suitable for all non-resident or international businesses including limited liability companies, partnerships, and individuals. Our forms have been customised for non-resident businesses making them fast and easy to complete. 

When you apply for an ABN through us you receive the following service benefits:

• Access to our purpose-built online form for non-resident businesses (the only one in Australia)
• Lodgement of your ABN application through our Tax Agent Portal
• We liaise with the ATO on your behalf for any issues that may arise
• ABN Confirmation Letter sent to your inbox via email once issued by the ATO
• A range of related tax registrations and other services can be ordered as part of the same application process

Banking support services – We can facilitate the opening of a bank account in Australia remotely. We charge a fee for this service, and the service is only available to customers using our company formation and resident director services. The opening of a bank account for your Australian business can be one of the most frustrating and time-consuming components of setting up a business here in Australia. This is in part due to the changing KYC and AML regulations here within Australia, and the subsequent policy and procedure changes from the respective banks operating here.

We keep strong relationships with a number of high street banks (as well as alternative banks) in Australia meaning we are well-positioned to navigate their requirements. Importantly, we have identified which banks allow us to open a bank account for your business without the need for your business associates (shareholders and directors) to fly to Australia. This can save you considerable time and cost.
