Understand the Jurisdictions Setup Requirement Before Proceed Your Company Incorporate in Australia

Before you proceed with the process of Company Incorporate in Australia, you must decide the type of company you want to incorporate:

1. Proprietary or Limited Liability Company

2. Public Company

3. Branch

4. Sole proprietorship

5. Partnerships

Out of these, Limited Liability Company is the most attractive option for investors precisely because of limited liabilities they have to incur in case of losses. As each shareholder has to contribute only a certain amount, the profits are also manifold to each shareholder.

Incorporating an LLC involves a slightly more complex procedure than incorporating other companies. There are many legal obligations your company has to fulfill.

 

The Australian Securities and Investment Commission

The Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) regulates all processes of company incorporation. Before you decide to Company Incorporate in Australia, you are required to have the following details ready with you:

1. Type of company you wish to incorporate

2. The management structure of the company

3. Consent of each of the directors and the company secretary

4. Name of your company

5. A local address for your company’s registered office

6. Location details from where you will carry out business

7. Share structure and shareholder details

 

The Procedure of Company Incorporate in Australia

1. Check availability of the company name you have selected with the Australian Business Register (ABR). If the name is available, fill and submit Firm 410 to reserve the name.

2. Declare details of at least one director and one shareholder to make the process of incorporation faster.

3. Submit Form 201 to ASIC to proceed with company incorporation.

4. Obtain a copy of the public profile of the company, a Certificate of Incorporation and a unique nine-digit Australian Company Number (ACN).

5. Register for tax with the Australian Tax Office and obtain the Australian Business Number (ABN) and Tax Filing Number.
