How to register your new company online the easy way

If you’re thinking of registering a new business, there’s good news because you can now do it all online. This article will show you the necessary steps.

In order to successfully register your company in Australia, you need to follow a series of steps, especially if you want to register this company online.

The first thing you should do is have everything ready. That’s where you need to spend a little time to make sure you have all the information at your fingertips to complete the registration process.

You will be asked to fill in the following information on the forms:

The name of the proposed company.

· The structure of the company and how the proposed company plans to operate, ie a public company, a Pty Ltd company, etc.

The addresses, names and birth data of the owners, directors and secretaries of the company.

Share holder details for any member involved in the company in this way.

Before you begin to fill out any form, you must ensure that the name you wish to use is not a trademark or used by someone else in the business registration system. There are links you can find on the ASIC website that will show you exactly how to search these databases so you can choose a name that you can use. It’s a good idea to have several names in mind in case the name you want isn’t available. I recommend that the company name be relevant to the product or service it offers.

Decisions about the structure and operation and the information you must collect before starting your form. If you don’t know, it is recommended that you sit down with a lawyer or accountant about which structure will best suit what you want to do with the business and your situation.

When you have all the required information, you can register a company with an ASIC Registered Agent through their website. Here you can simply fill out the order form. In some cases, the order form is extremely simple compared to the ASIC form (this is if you try to register the company yourself).

Once completed, the order form can be submitted, which will be sent to ASIC via the agent link and your company will be featured. Depending on the accuracy of the information you enter and the availability of the name, you can register a business in 30 minutes.

From there you will receive your registration certificate. You can request how you would like to receive it (usually sent immediately by email or fax). You can also decide if you want to receive the company in a Mercantile Registry. This is a folder that contains all the legal documents that pertain to your business. Or you can simply choose to receive the documents by email, which will be sent to you in PDF format. It is recommended that you print a copy and keep it in a safe place.

In short: if you use a registered agent to register your company, it can be a fairly simple and quick process, just make sure you have the correct information on hand.
