Standard registration or lawyer-assisted setup?

Use this self-serve tool when you know the standard company setup you need. If ownership, tax, trusts, investors or governance make the structure less straightforward, have a lawyer scope and set it up with you.

You complete the online form yourself, then Sprintlaw lodges your application through our ASIC registered-agent facilities. Most complete, eligible standard applications are confirmed within 1-3 business days. You'll receive your ACN, Certificate of Registration and core company documents digitally.

The $636 is the government fee for an eligible standard proprietary company registration from 1 July 2026. Sprintlaw does not charge a separate service fee for the standard self-serve registration. Optional add-ons and applications that need extra work are priced separately before purchase.

You'll need:

  • Your proposed company name
  • At least one eligible director (18+, with at least one ordinarily resident in Australia), with confirmation that each proposed director has applied for a director ID before appointment
  • At least one shareholder
  • A registered office address and principal place of business in Australia
  • Your share structure
  • Signed director and member consents
  • The occupier's consent if the registered office is not occupied by the company

Our online form guides you through each step.

A Pty Ltd company is a separate legal entity; a sole trader and the business are the same legal person. Limited liability is not absolute: directors and shareholders can still face exposure for personal guarantees, unpaid share capital, director-duty or insolvent-trading breaches and some tax debts. A qualifying base-rate entity may pay 25% company tax; otherwise the company rate is 30%. Companies also have additional setup, reporting and ongoing compliance obligations.

A company generally needs its own TFN and will usually obtain an ABN if it carries on an enterprise. GST and PAYG registrations depend on its turnover, activities and circumstances. These registrations are separate from ASIC company registration.

Yes. Sprintlaw is an incorporated legal practice regulated by the Law Society of New South Wales. While company registration is self-serve, our qualified Australian lawyers are here for the legal work that comes next, from constitutions to shareholders agreements.
