Business Formation in Australia

Starting a business in Australia is simple and cost-effective thanks to i) transparent Australia business set up formalities and ii) low government fees and minimum capital requirements. The following is an overview of Australia business set up challenges and advantages, as well as Healy Consultants' capabilities in this area.
1.	When starting a business in Australia, investors should budget up to US$9,800 to complete Australia business set up procedures, including i) company incorporation ii) Australia resident director services (plus refundable deposit) iii) assistance to open a local corporate bank account iv) assistance to register the company for goods and services tax (GST) and v) the use of Healy Consultants' address for invoicing purposes.

A company is deemed Australia resident if i) it is incorporated in Australia ii) if its central management and administration is in Australia (even if it was formed in another jurisdiction) and iii) if the company conducts business in Australia and its voting control is in the hands of resident Australian shareholders, even though it was incorporated in another jurisdiction or its central management is in another jurisdiction;
