Form a New Company Entirely Online
Starting a new company doesn’t require an in-person meeting – we handle the entire formation process online, from choosing the right structure through to your first ASIC compliance obligations, wherever you’re based in Australia. This makes it simple for new business owners to get started quickly without the back-and-forth of scheduling office visits.
Getting Your Structure Right From the Start
Before forming your company, we talk through your business goals, growth plans, and whether a company is even the right structure compared to a sole trader or trust arrangement. Getting this decision right at the outset avoids a costly restructure later once the business has grown.
What’s Included in Online Company Formation
- Structure advice tailored to your business goals
- Company name check and ACN registration with ASIC
- Constitution or replaceable rules setup
- Director, shareholder and share structure documentation
- ABN, TFN and GST registration if required
What Happens After Formation
Once your company is formed, we walk you through your ongoing obligations – annual ASIC review, company tax returns, and any BAS lodgement requirements – so you know exactly what to expect in your first year of trading and beyond.
Fast Turnaround, Properly Documented
We balance speed with getting the paperwork right the first time – a rushed company formation with incomplete documentation can cause problems down the track, particularly around director consents and share structure records.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a company always the best structure for a new business?
Not always – it depends on your goals around liability protection, tax planning and growth plans. We help you weigh a company against a sole trader or trust structure before you commit.
Can the entire process be completed without visiting an office?
Yes – structure discussions, document signing and lodgement can all be completed online or by phone and video call.
How quickly can my company be formed?
Once we have your details and signed documents, ASIC registration is typically processed within a business day or two.
What do I need to know about ongoing compliance after formation?
We explain your annual ASIC review, company tax return, and any BAS obligations upfront, so there are no surprises once the company is trading.
How much does online company formation cost?
Cost includes the ASIC registration fee plus our service fee, which we confirm as a fixed quote based on your structure needs before you proceed.
