How is the company established?

Our Pty Ltd companies are generally established with you (or whoever you nominate) as the original directors and shareholders of the company and with your choice of name. We require all officeholders and shareholders to sign consent prior to incorporation of the company. This can be done one of two ways: either each proposed director/secretary/shareholder can complete and sign a consent form and return with the completed order form (this is the quickest way), or alternatively, return just the completed order form and we will prepare and forward consents for signature.

What if I don’t care what the company is called?

We have a list of “Unincorporated Company Names” that have been checked for availability on the ASIC database. Please contact us for the current list to be faxed to you.

I have a registered business name. Can I register a company with the same name?

Yes, you can register a company with the same name as the registered business name provided all the proprietors of the business name have given written consent beforehand. Please complete and sign the additional “Business Name Consent” form and forward it to our office along with a copy of the Business Name registration certificate with the forms already stated above.

How do I pay?

We accept cash, cheque, direct deposit, electronic funds transfer, Bankcard, Mastercard, Visa, American Express or Diners Club payments. We also accept Bartercard and Empire Trade payments, however you will need to contact our office for our Bartercard and Empire Trade terms. For all non-account holders, payment is required at the time of ordering.
