How to Register Your New Company Online the Easy Way

Before you start filling out any forms you need to make sure the name you want to use is not trademarked or otherwise used by anyone else in the business registration system. There are links you can find on the ASIC website that will show you exactly how to search these databases so that you choose a name you can use. It is a good idea to have several names in mind just in case the name you want is unavailable. I recommend that the company name be relevant to the product or service that you are offering.
The decisions about structure and operation and information you should gather before you start your form. If you do not know it is recommended that you sit with a Lawyer or Accountant as to what is going to be the structure that bests suits what you want to do with the business and your situation.
When you have all the required information you can register a company with an ASIC registered agent via their website. Here you can simply complete the order form. In some instances the order form is extremely simple compared to the ASIC form (this is if you attempt to register the company yourself).
The order form once completed can then be submitted which will be sent to ASIC via the agent's link and your company will be lodged. Depending upon the accuracy of the information you enter and the name availability you can have a company registered within 30 minutes.
From there you will receive your certificate of registration. You can request how you would like to receive it (normally sent immediately via email or fax). You can also decide if you wish to receive the company in a Company Register. This is a Folder that holds all the legal documents that pertain to your company. Or you can simply choose to receive the documents via email which will be sent to you in PDF format. It is recommended that you print out a copy and keep somewhere safe.
