EasyCompanies

EasyCompanies is an online service for registering Australian companies and obtaining the ACN, ABN and registration documents.

Services

The listed service is company registration. The ACN is the company number issued by the corporate regulator, and the ABN is the business number used for tax and invoicing, so the two together are what a new company needs to start trading. The service is delivered online.

Published pricing

Company registration is listed at AUD 682 as a one-time payment, and the company states that this includes the published ASIC fee of $611. ABN registration is available separately at AUD 49, and a business name registration offer is also published. These figures are list prices, not personal calculations.

Market

The service is designed for Australia.

Who it suits

Founders and small businesses that want a standard Australian proprietary company quickly, and foreign owners who need a local entity for trading, can compare the fees against other providers. A company that plans to hold a financial services or payment authorisation will need further steps with the regulator, which fall outside this registration service.
