How to start your business with 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.

To help get you started as quickly and efficiently as possible, NAB have chosen to work with EasyCompanies. As the name implies, EasyCompanies is all about making life easy for budding Australian businesses. This is what makes them such a perfect fit for us. One hundred per cent Australian owned and operated, EasyCompanies has the experience and expertise needed to help simplify all types of business applications.

Together, we can help you sort out:

• ABN or ACN registration
• domains for your company’s website
• email accounts for those domains
• company branded binders.

Fees for EasyCompanies’ services vary, but ABN registration is possible from as low as $49.00. For that you are supported throughout the process and receive updates on your progress in real time. It takes around 15 minutes to complete the application for an ABN or ACN. In most instances you will receive your ABN or ACN within five minutes.
