Australian Subsidiary Set Up for US Company

A subsidiary is a local company that is owned by a foreign company. If you are a US company thinking about expanding to Australia, you may wish to set up an Australian subsidiary to conduct business here and establish a presence in Australia.

If you are not sure whether a subsidiary is right for your situation, get in touch with our team of legal consultants for a free chat. They can talk you through your options and help you decide what is right for your company.

To set up a subsidiary company in Australia, you will need to register with ASIC and put the right documents in place to appoint your directors and shareholders. We can help you through each step.

This includes applying for ACN registration with ASIC and providing you with an electronic company register pack. This pack will contain the legal documents you need for your subsidiary company, such as a Certificate of Registration, Company Constitution, Share Certificates, copy of Form 201, Register of Members, and all required resolutions and consents.
