Register Australian companies only.

Steps in setting up a company:

Registered office address
This is where all ASIC communications and notices to the company will be sent. This address must be within Australia and can't be a post office box address. If you don’t wish to use your own address as the Registered Office, we can provide this service at our offices for a fee.
Principal place of business address
This is where your company mainly conducts its business. This can't be a post office address. We are able to provide 'virtual office' business address facilities in all major capital cities around Australia.
