Building Business Foundations That Actually Work
We started sylarenqoth in 2019 because we kept seeing the same problem. Business owners were paying too much for company formation services that left them confused about their own structure.
Six years later, we've helped over 340 Australian businesses set up properly. Not just filing paperwork — actually understanding what they're building and why it matters.
How We Got Here
This wasn't some grand plan. It grew from watching too many people struggle with something that should be straightforward.
2019 — Starting Small
Three of us working from a shared office in North Sydney. Our first client was a friend's catering business who'd been quoted $4,500 for a basic company setup. We did it for less than half that and spent actual time explaining the structure.
2021 — Finding Our Approach
By this point we'd set up about 80 companies. The pattern was clear — people needed clarity more than they needed speed. So we started building in consultation time. Every formation includes a proper conversation about what you're actually creating.
2023 — Expanding Services
Clients kept asking about trust structures and partnership agreements. We brought on specialists who could handle complex setups without making them sound complicated. That year we moved to St Leonards and doubled our team.
2025 — Where We Are Now
We handle everything from single-director companies to multi-entity structures. The approach hasn't changed though. Take time to understand what someone's building, then set it up right the first time.
What We Actually Do
Company formation sounds simple until you're in the middle of it. Here's where we focus our attention.
Structure Planning
Before any paperwork gets filed, we work out what structure makes sense for your situation. Sometimes that's a standard company. Sometimes it's a trust or partnership. We've seen enough variations to spot what works.
Regulatory Setup
ASIC registrations, ABN applications, GST considerations. The administrative side that needs to be right but doesn't need to take weeks. We handle this part quickly because we've done it hundreds of times.
Ongoing Compliance
Companies need annual reviews and updates. We keep track of what's due when, and make sure nothing gets missed. It's not exciting work, but it matters more than people think.
Trust Structures
Family trusts and unit trusts need careful setup. The deed has to be right, the beneficiaries need to be clear, and the tax implications need to be understood upfront. This is where experience really counts.
Business Restructuring
Sometimes a business outgrows its original structure. Maybe you started as a sole trader and need to incorporate. Or your partnership needs to become a company. We help with those transitions without disrupting operations.
Director Obligations
Being a director comes with legal responsibilities that aren't always obvious. We explain what you're signing up for and how to meet those obligations without it becoming a burden.
The People Behind sylarenqoth
We're a team of twelve now. Three senior advisors who handle complex structures, four formation specialists who process the registrations, two compliance officers who manage ongoing requirements, and support staff who keep everything running.
Most of us came from larger corporate practices where the focus was on volume. Here, we spend more time per client because that's what actually helps. You'll work with the same advisor throughout your setup, not get passed between departments.
We're not trying to be the biggest company formation service in Sydney. We'd rather be the one people actually understand what they're getting.

Senior Business AdvisorFreya joined us in 2021 after spending eight years at a major accounting firm. She specializes in trust structures and family business setups. Most weeks she's explaining to someone why a discretionary trust might or might not make sense for their situation.
Start With a Conversation
We do free initial consultations because it's the only way to understand if we're the right fit for your situation. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just a straightforward discussion about what you need and whether we can help.
