Canadian New Zealand Subsidiary Set Up

To set up a subsidiary company in Australia, you'll need to register with ASIC and put the right documents in place to appoint your directors and shareholders. Our lawyers can help you through each step.

We can assist with setting up your subsidiary under a single company structure. This includes applying for ACN registration with ASIC and providing you with an electronic company register pack.

This pack contains the legal documents you need for your subsidiary company, such as a Certificate of Registration, Company Constitution, Share Certificates, Copy of Form 201, Register of Members, and all required resolutions and consents.

At Sprintlaw, we offer a fixed-fee package to set up your subsidiary company in Australia. This means you'll know exactly what you're paying upfront and won't be hit with any surprise bills. Our packages for subsidiary company set-ups start at $1,200.00 + GST.

When you choose our subsidiary company set up package, you’ll get help with everything you need to set up a subsidiary company in Australia. This includes applying for ACN registration with ASIC and providing you with an electronic company register pack.

The company register pack includes the legal documents you need to set up your subsidiary company, such as a Certificate of Registration, Company Constitution, Share Certificates, Copy of Form 201, Register of Members, and all required resolutions and consents.

You’ll also receive phone consultations with a Sprintlaw lawyer who will take your instructions, advise you on the legal issues you need to know, and answer your questions about the documents.

Please note that this package does not include any regulatory compliance or tax advice. To set up an Australian company, you must have at least 1 Australian resident director. We do not provide a nominated director service.

Please also note that we are unable to register your ABN for you. We can provide guidance on how to complete this process yourself.

Often, yes. New Zealand companies generally need at least one director who lives in New Zealand, or in Australia and is also a director of an Australian company. Whether this applies to your structure will depend on how the parent company and proposed subsidiary are set up.

As part of this package, a lawyer can explain the director residency requirements, what information is needed for registration, and whether your planned structure is suitable before the subsidiary is set up.
