Register a Company Using Law On Earth

If you’ve already had legal advice on your structure, or don’t feel that you need it, then let’s get started on your company registration.

 

If you’ve already had legal advice on your structure, or don’t feel that you need it, then let’s get started on your company registration. You’ll need to enter in the details of the directors, shareholders, company registered address and what share structure you want, and then you can pay at the end.

If you have to take a break or finish the registration later, you can just go to the Applications tab and click on the company to keep going. Each time, you need to do the ASIC name check, but all of your information will be there available still. Let’s get this show on the road!

What you need to know

  • Yes, so long as all directors are at least 18 years old, the company’s registered office is in Australia and at least one of the director lives and pays tax in Australia - this person will already have a personal tax file number.

  • Pricing starts from $562 which is just the cost of the ASIC Fee, and a $50 fee to cover the entire process of registration and you get the 13 critical documents for establishing the company including the Constitution.

  • You may be able to use your accountant’s office address or a virtual office as your company registered address. Keep in mind that your home address will appear on the company records if you will be a director or shareholder though, so this information will still be publicly available, as will your date and place of birth.

  • You must have at least one shareholder, and they can be either an individual person, an Australian company, an overseas company, or a person/company acting as trustee for a trust. If you choose for a company to be a shareholder, you need to provide the Company Number, registered address, and country of incorporation. If any of the shareholders are acting as trustee for Trust, you’ll need to provide the name of the Trust.
