Most people are eligible to register a Pty Ltd company in Australia. The only requirements are that the company has at least one director residing in Australia and a physical address (not a PO box) for the registered office. Note that if none of the company directors are eligible to work in Australia, you will be able to register the company, but it cannot trade. People with a history of bankruptcy or those with certain criminal convictions may also be restricted from being a director

Most applications are registered in one day, many within an hour or two. It really depends on two factors; whether all proposed directors have a Director Identification Number (DIN) and your application not being flagged by ASIC for manual review. The most common reasons for a manual review include using made up or foreign words in your company name, choosing a name that has already been registered or providing incorrect details in your application. Once your company is officially registered with ASIC, we will send all certification and company documentation ASAP. Applications flagged for manual review by ASIC usually take around 60 minutes to be registered if submitted during business hours. If your application is submitted outside of business hours and requires review, it will be processed the following business day

Yes, within the guidelines. The name cannot be identical or too similar to a company or business name that has already been registered. Company names featuring made up names or foreign words often require manual approval by ASIC, which takes longer than the automated service

Much like companies on the stock market, many private companies also issue shares. This is true for Pty Ltd companies too. Issuing shares is a way of giving ownership of the company to one or more people. Anyone issued shares in the company is considered a shareholder and has ownership of the company and decision making power respective to the amount of shares they hold.

In a simple example, if Beth holds 80% of the shares of a company, she owns 80% of the company and has the respective decision making power. If John holds 7% of the shares, he owns 7% of the company and has a much smaller say in the company than Beth.

The most common type of shares are Ordinary shares, meaning that there’s nothing special or different about the shares and that they don’t come with special rights. For a company owned by one person, it’s typical to have between 1-100 Ordinary shares with between 1c and $1 paid per share and $0 unpaid
