Register an Australian Pty Ltd, Done Right from Day One
If you are ready to set up a company, we get your Pty Ltd, trust or SMSF registered properly so you start on the right footing. We sort your constitution, ABN, TFN, GST and PAYG, introduce you to a business banker and have your Xero file ready in 3 business days. From $180 plus ASIC fees.
The Questions You Are Actually Stuck On
Most people setting up a first Pty Ltd are not worried about the ASIC form. They are worried about getting the decisions underneath it right, because those are the ones that follow you for years. Here are the three that come up most, answered plainly.
Am I even picking the right structure, or just defaulting to a Pty Ltd?
This is the one decision that quietly costs people the most. Before anything is lodged we sit down and model your numbers across sole trader, Pty Ltd and trust, then tell you which one actually leaves more in your pocket. If a company is not right for you yet, we will say so.
Do I need an ABN, a TFN, GST, PAYG, and which ones apply to me?
It is easy to register for the wrong things, or miss one and get a letter from the ATO later. We handle the full set in one go and only register you for what your situation actually requires, so you start clean and you are not paying GST a year early or under-registered when you should not be.
If I take money out of the company, will Div 7A catch me?
Most new founders have never heard of Division 7A until it is a problem, and drawing personal money out of your own company the wrong way can trigger a deemed dividend and a surprise tax bill. We set you up understanding the line between wages, dividends and loans from day one, so you can pay yourself without tripping it.
Everything Needed to Start Trading
Not just an ASIC certificate. By the end of day three you have ABN, TFN, GST/PAYG registrations, business bank intro, accounting file and director ID guidance.
- Structure consultation: Pty Ltd vs trust vs sole trader, tax modelled
- ASIC company registration with custom constitution
- ABN, TFN, GST and PAYG withholding registrations
- Director ID application guidance
- Business name registration (if separate from company name)
- ATO portal authorisation for tax agent linkage
- Xero or MYOB file initialised with your chart of accounts
- Bank introduction to a business banker (CBA, NAB or Westpac)
We Are in Your Corner from the First Form to the First Tax Return
We Set It Up to Save You Tax, Not Just to Tick a Box
A registration site gives you a company and walks away. We start from your numbers and build the structure that legally keeps more in your hands, then explain the why in plain English so you understand exactly what you are signing.
We Keep You on the Right Side of the ATO
You should not have to second-guess whether something was lodged correctly. We register you for the right things, keep your obligations straight and flag the traps like Div 7A before they become a problem, so a letter from the ATO never catches you off guard.
The Same People Are Still Here Next Year
The team that sets you up is the team that lodges your BAS, prepares your return and plans your tax as you grow. You build a relationship with people who already know your business, so you never have to start over or re-explain your situation.

What Founders Ask Before Registering a Company
Should I be a Pty Ltd or a sole trader?
Under ~$80k profit and no asset protection concerns, sole trader is fine. Over that, a Pty Ltd caps your tax at the 25% small business rate and protects personal assets from business risk. We will model the tax saving on your numbers before you commit.
How long does ASIC registration take?
The ASIC certificate itself is usually issued within hours of lodgement. Adding the ATO registrations (ABN, GST, PAYG), authorising us as tax agent, and setting up the accounting file usually completes within 3 business days.
Do I need a separate business name?
Only if you want to trade under a name different to the company's registered name. Many businesses do this for branding. If your trading name = your Pty Ltd name, no separate business name registration is needed. See our Business Name Checker tool.
What is Director ID and do I need one?
Yes. Every director of an Australian company needs a Director ID from ABRS before being appointed. It is free, takes 15 minutes online with your myGovID. We walk you through it.
I am not an Australian resident. Can you still help?
Yes, but the rules are different. See our Company Registration for Foreigners page for non-resident company setup.
