No, we do not sell shelf companies. All of our companies are new, your company will be incorporated with your choice of name, directors and shareholders.

To obtain an ACN and a copy of your certificate of incorporation the turn around is 1-2 hours once we receive your order.

If you order the company before 10.30am it will be delivered the same day to the Sydney CBD area, or for areas outside Sydney CBD delivery will be the following day.

For delivery in states other than NSW delivery is usually the next day or 2 days after you place your order.

To order a company you can follow the links to register for online ordering, then log in and place an order online.

Alternatively you can download an order form, fill it in and fax or email it to us (however, this does incur a slightly higher fee than online ordering).

If we have any queries about your order or require any further information we will contact you as soon as possible.

After the company is incorporated the documents are sent out to you by email or courier depending on your selection.
