Welcome to EasyCompanies

As an entrepreneur with a startup business idea, you don’t want to spend all your time on paperwork. That’s where EasyCompanies can help. We make getting your business registered a smoother and easier process.

How to start a business in Australia

Register your business name

Enter your company information with EasyCompanies to check your company name is available. Then they'll get your business registered with the relevant bodies like ASIC, and your ABN or ACN sorted. From there, choose additional start-up services you need, like domain name and email.

Receive your documents via email

You’ll then be emailed all the official documents for your new business, including confirmation for all the services you selected as soon as they’re approved (such as ABN, ACN, ASIC certificate, company register, domain details and tax receipt). If you have registered a company, EasyCompanies will provide you with the legal documents necessary to support your company's registration including company constitution, director consents, share certificates and minutes.

You've started-up your business!

Once received, you're ready to set-up a business bank account with NAB and get started with trading, issuing invoices, receiving revenue and building your business.
