While incorporating a company will mean adding a range of regulatory and reporting requirements, there are many advantages to incorporating a company. Some of these advantages include:
As a sole trader or partnership, you are personally liable for all aspects of your business, including debts and losses. This can put your personal assets at risk. On the other hand, operating as a company separates your personal assets from your business, providing a layer of protection.
Switching to a company structure can result in lower taxes due to the lower tax rate for businesses and the ability to claim tax deductions
Registering your company boosts brand recognition and credibility. It positions your business as a separate entity, accountable to ASIC and operating with an ACN. Third parties prefer dealing with registered companies, enhancing your reputation and facilitating future partnerships
Investors prefer registered companies for investment opportunities as they offer the ability to raise equity capital and borrow money. It also provides a formal structure that gives investors confidence in the business.

Anyone over the age of 18 in Australia. You also must have at least 1 director who resides in Australia (for tax purposes) and have a registered address located in Australia. At the moment we’re registering a company with single director and shareholder and accepting applications from Australian residents only.
Before you start the online application form, please make sure that you have the following information ready:
There are 2 packages available for company registration. Take a look at our range of budget-friendly plans and pricing designed to suit your requirements
Business name registration allows you to legally operate under your chosen trading name, regardless of what your registered company name may be. If you want to trade under a different name to your company’s registered name, you’ll need to register it as a business name.
You are not required to register a business name if you are a registered company in Australia and you operate under your company’s name.
So if your company name is ‘Happy Shark PTY LTD’ and you are trading as ‘Happy Shark PTY LTD’, then you do not need to register a business name. However, if you’d like to trade as ‘Magic Shark’, then you will need to have this registered, as the business name is not the exact same as your first and last name.
Business name registration is something our team is working on at the moment. We’re planning to add this service soon. Therefore the company you register with us will be trading under the company’s registered name.
At the moment we’re registering a company with single director and shareholder. However, you can add more directors losing the necessary form directly with ASIC. The process to be followed will usually depend on your company's constitution (or the replaceable rules, if your company has not adopted a constitution). The process would likely involve a resolution of the company (or its members, or both), a consent from the incoming director and preparation and lodgement of the necessary ASIC form.
As soon as we send confirmation email of successful company registration – you’re good to go!
An ACN is a 9 digit number allocated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) when a body becomes registered as a company under the Corporations Act.
