Frequently Asked Questions About Company Registration
Clear guidance on ASIC incorporation, director responsibilities, and corporate tax rates.
What is included in the company setup fee?
Our company registration package includes the mandatory ASIC statutory incorporation fee, ACN generation, customised corporate constitution, share certificates, member register, consent to act as director documents, and direct ATO registration for ABN, TFN, GST, and PAYG withholding.
How fast can my company be registered and operational?
Once all director and shareholder details and identity verifications are provided, ASIC registration and ACN issuance typically take less than 24 to 48 business hours. ATO registrations (ABN and GST) are processed immediately following incorporation.
What is a Director Identification Number (Director ID)?
A Director ID is a mandatory 15-digit unique identifier that every company director must obtain personally via myGovID before being appointed. We provide step-by-step guidance to ensure compliance under the Corporations Act.
Should I register a company or operate as a sole trader?
A proprietary limited (Pty Ltd) company provides legal limited liability protection, separates personal assets from business risks, and allows trading profits to be taxed at the 25% Base Rate Entity corporate rate rather than individual marginal tax rates up to 47%.
