Company Formation Without the Headache

Setting up a business in Australia doesn't need to feel like decoding tax law while juggling paperwork. We handle the registration, compliance, and structure details so you can focus on what actually matters—building something that works.

No jargon. No surprises. Just straightforward company formation that gets you operating legally and efficiently.

Start Your Setup How We Work

What Goes Into Setting Up Properly

Company formation isn't just filling forms. It's choosing the right structure, getting your compliance framework sorted, and making sure nothing comes back to bite you later.

Structure Selection

Pty Ltd, sole trader, partnership—each has different tax implications and liability protections. We help you pick what actually fits your situation instead of following a template.

ASIC Registration

Getting your ACN and ABN sorted through ASIC involves specific documentation and timing. We manage the lodgements and follow-ups so your application doesn't sit in limbo.

Tax Configuration

GST registration, PAYG setup, tax file numbers—these aren't optional extras. We configure your tax obligations correctly from day one based on your revenue projections and structure.

Compliance Framework

Annual reviews, corporate registers, shareholder agreements. The ongoing requirements that keep you legally compliant without constant stress about what you might be missing.

Banking Setup

Business accounts need proper documentation and often face unexpected delays. We prepare the certificate packages banks actually need so you're not making multiple trips.

Shareholder Arrangements

Whether you're solo or have partners, clear ownership documentation prevents disputes. We draft agreements that reflect actual arrangements and protect everyone's interests.

The Reality of Australian Business Registration

Most people underestimate how interconnected the setup process is. Miss one piece and you're dealing with amendments, resubmissions, and delays that push your launch date back weeks.

ASIC wants specific documentation. The ATO has different requirements. Your bank needs certified copies of everything. And if your company constitution doesn't match your actual business model, you'll be revising it within months.

We've seen businesses launch without proper tax registrations only to face penalties during their first BAS period. Or companies that chose the wrong structure and spent thousands restructuring within a year. Getting it right initially saves both money and headaches.

That's why we handle the full chain—from name reservation through to your first compliance review. Because partial setups create problems you don't discover until they're expensive.

Timeline You Can Actually Plan Around

Standard ASIC processing takes 2-5 business days if everything's correct. But most applications need revisions because documentation doesn't match requirements or names get rejected.

We lodge applications that go through on first submission because we know what ASIC looks for. Your company registration typically completes within a week, and you get your business accounts opened within two weeks.

ACN and ABN issued within 5 business days on average

The Ongoing Requirements Nobody Mentions

Company formation isn't a one-time event. You've got annual ASIC reviews, tax lodgements, and corporate record updates that need handling every year.

We set up your compliance calendar and handle the annual requirements so you're not scrambling when deadlines hit. Because a penalty for late ASIC annual review filing is completely preventable.
