Australian Company setup for overseas founders
You may be able to own shares in an Australian company while living abroad. However, an Australian proprietary company generally needs at least one director who ordinarily resides in Australia. A Nominee Director can meet that requirement only if they genuinely meet the residency criteria—and a director has real legal duties and responsibilities.
Our Australian Nominee Director Service can help overseas founders understand the director appointment process and coordinate company formation support. We’ll discuss your proposed business structure, explain the information and documents needed, and outline the next steps before you proceed.
Help with Australian Business Banking
Need a business bank account for your new company? We can guide you through the application process and the information a provider may request. Bank account approval is determined by the bank and may depend on its eligibility, identity-verification and compliance checks. We cannot guarantee account opening.
How to get started
- Message us on WhatsApp at +61 413 124 717.
- Tell us where you’re based, what your business will do, and who will own the company.
- Discuss company registration, director arrangements and banking options.
- Review the proposed scope, fees and documents before authorising any work.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start an Australian company while living overseas?
Overseas founders may be able to own shares in an Australian company. The right setup depends on your circumstances, and the company must meet applicable director and registration requirements.
Does a nominee director have legal responsibilities?
Yes. A nominee director is still a director and has legal duties; the nominee label does not remove those responsibilities. Make sure you understand the role and the written terms before any appointment.
Will my company automatically get an Australian bank account?
No. Banks make their own decisions and may require identity, ownership and business information. Account approval is not guaranteed.
Can everything be handled remotely?
Many steps may be coordinated remotely, but identity checks, document requirements and provider processes vary. We’ll discuss what applies to your situation.
