Company Formation Services
Company Formation Services in Australia
Forming a company involves getting several pieces in place before the business can operate through its new corporate entity. ACE Shelf Companies helps clients work through that setup and prepare the information needed to establish an Australian company.
Company Formation
What Is Company Formation?
Company formation is the process of putting together and establishing a new company. It covers the groundwork that comes before registration as well as the formal steps needed to bring the company into existence. For an Australian proprietary company, that usually means settling the company name, directors, shareholders, shareholdings and required addresses before the details are lodged with ASIC. The company also needs rules for how it will operate. Depending on the circumstances, those may come from the replaceable rules, a constitution, or a combination of the two. If you have already decided that a company is the structure you want to establish, ACE can help turn those decisions into a completed company setup.
Company Details
Getting the Details Together
Quite often, the paperwork itself is not the difficult part. It is having all the right information ready at the same time. A director’s details may be complete while a shareholder address is still missing. The company name may need checking. Share numbers may not yet have been settled. Even a simple setup can stall when one piece of information has been overlooked. ACE works through the company details before lodgement so those gaps can be picked up early.
Information Required
