Register a Company

WHAT’S IT FOR?

Setting up a company is important in separating your personal liability from the affairs of your business. It is also useful if you want to divide the ownership of the business between you and your other co-founders. To set up a company, you will need to formally register with ASIC and sort out all of your company documents to appoint directors and shareholders.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

We’ll set up your business under a single company structure.

This package includes:

• Initial consultation with a Sprintlaw lawyer
• Applying for ACN registration with ASIC for 1 company
• Applying for ABN registration for 1 business
• Electronic company register pack, including the Certificate of Registration, Constitution, Share Certificates, Copy of Form 201, Register of Members and all required resolutions and consents

For ABN registrations, please note that :

• if you do not have an Australian TFN, we will be unable to register your ABN for you. We can provide you with guidance on how to complete this process yourself.
• by engaging us to apply for an ABN, you consent to appointing our company registration partner EasyCompanies Pty Ltd (EC) as your tax agent for the purpose of making the application, and for EC to notify you of future tax obligations, in accordance with EC’s Terms and Conditions available on their website.

Please note that all directors of an Australian company are required to have a Director Identification Number before being appointed. If you don’t have one, you will need to download the MyGovID app and verify your identification with the Australian Business Registry Service. To avoid delays with your registration, please make sure you have this ready for your lawyer.

Please note that as part of the scope of this project, Sprintlaw will be acting as lawyers for your company rather than the founders individually. As these entities have not yet been established, the signatory to the formal quote will be one of the founders but this will be considered on behalf of the company. We do not represent the interests of either founders, or any other party personally (as there may be a conflict of interest in doing so).

Important note about signing:
Upon registration of your company as part of this Register a Company package, you agree on behalf of the company that the company will be our client for the remaining scope of this proposal, including for preparing any documents under this proposal.
