The reality

Keep your team focused on the transaction, not the admin

01

Settlement is Friday and the entity is not set up yet

The structure was agreed yesterday. The entity needs to be registered, the constitution needs to match the transaction documents, and everything needs to be ready quickly. We can step in and get it moving.

02

Your team is spending senior time on ASIC work

Director appointments, share issues, registered office changes and other lodgements can quickly absorb hours of professional time. We handle the process so your team can stay focused on higher value work.

03

Your provider cannot work with your documents

You have your own constitution, shareholders agreement or transaction documents and need a provider who can work with them. We adapt to your process rather than forcing you into ours.

04

Several entities are needed for the same transaction

Holdco, operating company and trustee company, often with the same directors, shareholders and addresses. We can coordinate the setup together, without your team having to enter the same information again and again.

We register against your documents, not ours

Every firm has its own approach to company documentation. Send us your constitution or tell us how you want the company set up, and we will work to that process.

Send us your firm’s constitution

Your document

We use your constitution as part of the formation, including templates prepared for particular transaction types or client requirements. You provide the document and we register the company accordingly.

Register without a constitution

Formation only

If you are dealing with the constitution separately, or want the company to rely on the replaceable rules initially, we can complete the formation without one and leave adoption to you.

Use ours if you need one

Available if needed

If you do not have a constitution ready, we can provide our standard constitution. It covers the usual governance matters and provides ordinary, A class, B to H class, and I and J class redeemable preference shares. It is available when needed, but never required.

How the work reaches you
Your process stays intact
Brief us by email, online order or phone, or in a chat with Claude. We prepare, lodge and deliver the complete formation pack back to your firm. Your client sees your relationship, not ours. Your paralegal doesn't need to touch it.
Transaction support

Corporate secretarial that runs on deal time

Transactions move fast and the corporate secretarial work has to keep pace. We co-ordinate entity setups, share transfers and ASIC lodgements to your settlement or completion date, not ours.

Entity setup for transactions

New SPVs, holdcos, trustee companies and subsidiaries registered same-day. Multiple entities for one deal handled together with shared director details entered once. Your constitution adopted as part of the formation.

Share transfers and allotments

Transfers between parties, new allotments, class conversions and splits. Documentation prepared, ASIC notified, share certificates issued and registers updated, timed to your completion date.

Director and officer changes

Appointments, resignations and changes of details lodged within your deal timeline. Consent forms prepared, director ID verified, registers updated. Same-day processing for urgent changes.

Post-completion compliance

After the deal closes the obligations continue. Annual reviews, registered office maintenance, ASIC correspondence and solvency resolutions, so the entities stay compliant from day one.

Switching is straightforward

Most law firms move to us because their current provider is too slow, too expensive, or can't deliver documentation their clients expect. How the transition works:

How long does the switch take?

You can send us work immediately. No onboarding period, no data migration. Brief us on your next formation and we handle it.

Do my existing clients need to know?

No. We deliver everything to your firm, so the client relationship is unchanged. If you want ongoing ASIC compliance moved across for existing entities, that happens behind the scenes.

What if I have preferred document formats?

Tell us once. Presentation, naming conventions, folder structure and formatting are recorded against your firm and applied to every future order.

Can I try you on one job first?

Most firms send a single formation to test turnaround and document quality. No minimum, no ongoing obligation.

“Ultimate professional service with adaptability to suit our requirements. The entire team have been responsive, informative and always providing guidance.”

We work to the transaction timetable
Entity registrations, share transfers and director changes can be co-ordinated around the dates your transaction requires.
