What It Is

A Simple, Compliant Path to Your Australian Company

An Australian proprietary limited company (Pty Ltd) gives you a recognized business structure with limited personal liability and its own legal identity, separate from its owners. It's the standard choice for founders, ecommerce sellers, and businesses operating in or selling into the Australian market.

CoFilings® manages the entire formation process — from choosing a compliant company name and preparing your company constitution, to registering with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and delivering your certificate of registration and Australian Company Number (ACN). No confusing forms, no missed requirements.

We also help non-Australian residents form their company remotely, including support with your Australian Business Number (ABN), Tax File Number (TFN), registered agent, and business bank account so you're ready to operate from day one.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an Australian citizen or resident to form a company?
No, but an Australian proprietary company must have at least one director who ordinarily resides in Australia. We can advise on structuring options if you don't have a resident director available.
What's the difference between an ACN and an ABN?
An ACN (Australian Company Number) is issued by ASIC when your company is registered and identifies it as a legal entity. An ABN (Australian Business Number) is a separate registration with the Australian Taxation Office used for tax and invoicing purposes.
How long does company registration take?
Most Australian company registrations are completed within one to two business days once the required information and documents are submitted to ASIC.
What is a registered agent and do I need one?
A registered agent can help manage ASIC lodgements and correspondence on your company's behalf. This is especially useful for non-resident owners who aren't familiar with Australian filing requirements.
Can you help me open an Australian business bank account?
Yes. We guide and assist you through opening a business bank account for your newly formed company, including options available to non-residents.
What ongoing requirements does an Australian company have?
Companies must pay an annual review fee to ASIC, keep officeholder and shareholder details up to date, and meet tax filing obligations with the ATO. We send compliance reminders and offer annual filing services.
