Frequently asked questions

Anybody can form an Australian company. You must however provide at least one director who is resident in Australia and a physical location (registered office address) for the business in Australia.

Yes you can. A proprietary company can have one director and one shareholder and these can be the same person.

A company is a legal entity made of up directors, secretaries and shareholders. A director is someone responsible for the day to day running of the company. A secretary is someone who is in charge of general company housekeeping duties such as making sure returns are filed on time, notifying when addresses change etc. A shareholder is someone who owns the company through holding shares.

Our questionnaire will ask you a range of questions. It will ask you for the name of your new company, the names and addresses of people involved (directors, secretaries, shareholders) and the official address for the company. If you find you don't have the information at hand while you're forming the company, then you can save your progress and return to it later.

No, we do not require any identification from you.

Yes. Once the questionnaire is complete we'll give you some documents to be signed. These documents are for each director, secretary and shareholder of the company. You'll need to print these documents off and have them signed by the appropriate people. You do not need to post or lodge these documents anywhere. They are for you to keep with the records of the company.
