Canadian Australian Subsidiary Set Up

A subsidiary is a local company owned by a foreign company. If you're a Canadian company looking to expand to Australia, you may want to set up an Australian subsidiary to carry on business here and establish a local presence.

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

To set up a subsidiary company in Australia, you'll need to register with ASIC and put the right documents in place to appoint directors and shareholders.

We can help you through the process. Our lawyers assist with setting up your subsidiary under a single company structure. This includes applying for ACN registration with ASIC and providing an electronic company register pack.

This pack contains the legal documents you need for your subsidiary company, including a Certificate of Registration, Company Constitution, Share Certificates, Copy of Form 201, Register of Members, and all required resolutions and consents.

At Sprintlaw, we offer a fixed-fee package to set up your subsidiary company in Australia. This means you’ll know exactly what you’re paying upfront, with no surprise bills. Our packages for subsidiary company set-ups start at $500 + GST.

When you choose our subsidiary company set up package, you'll get help with everything you need to set up a subsidiary company in Australia. This includes applying for ACN registration with ASIC and providing you with an electronic company register pack.
