Corporate Services
Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing various corporate and financial activities in Australia. A registered agent plays a crucial role in helping businesses comply with ASIC regulations.
ASIC Registered Agent Services: As an ASIC registered agent, professional and service provider, we assist companies in fulfilling their regulatory obligations with ASIC. This includes tasks such as lodging necessary documents with ASIC, updating company details, company changes, sending reminders, helping with requirements such as applying for Director ID Numbers, providing all supporting documents for ASIC forms lodged and ensuring compliance with reporting requirements. We provide outsourced ASIC compliance services to accounting practices to help streamline administrative processes and ensure that your clients companies stay compliant with ASIC regulations.
Company Registrations: Registering a company in Australia involves several steps, including selecting a suitable business structure (such as a proprietary limited company), choosing a company name, and submitting the necessary documentation to ASIC. The registration process might also involve obtaining an Australian Business Number (ABN) and a Tax File Number (TFN). Each business structure has its own requirements and implications for taxation, liability, and management. We ensure all documentation required is provided including a company constitution if you chose to adopt a company constitution instead of adopting ASIC's replaceable rules as outlined in the Corporations Act.
Trust Establishments: Trusts are legal structures commonly used in Australia for various purposes, such as asset protection, estate planning, and tax minimisation. Setting up a trust involves creating a legal arrangement where a trustee holds and manages assets for the benefit of beneficiaries. Common types of trusts in Australia include discretionary trusts, unit trusts, and hybrid trusts. The process of establishing a trust involves drafting a trust deed and fulfilling legal requirements. We recommend discussing the need of a trust establishment with your accountant or lawyer. We can refer you to a trusted registered tax agent for advice and to provide you ongoing tax and financial services.
Business Name Registrations, Renewals and Cancellations: Registering a business name in Australia involves several steps, including ensuring the business name is available, checking if a domain is available, ensuring a trademark has not been registered and ensuring the name is available for social media platforms.
