[R151]Register A Company Online

by Rich Muir, Ric

To correctly register your company in Australia, you have to follow a certain set of steps, especially if you want to register this company online.

The first thing you need to do is have everything ready. That is where you need to spend a little time to make sure you have all the information at your finger tips to complete the registration process.

You will be required to complete the following information on the forms:

· Proposed Company name.

· The structure of the company and how you plan to operate the proposed company ie, a Public Company, A Pty Ltd company etc.

· The addresses, names, and birth details of the owners, directors, and secretaries of the company.

· Share holder details for any members involved in the company this way.

Before you start filling out any forms you need to make sure the name you want to use is not trademarked or otherwise used by anyone else in the business registration system. You can find out this on the ASIC website. Just go do a name search on the website and it will show you if the name is taken or not. It is a good idea to have several names in mind just in case the name you want is unavailable. I recommend that the company name be relevant to the product or service that you are offering.

The decisions about structure and operation and information you should gather before you start your form. If you do not know it is recommended that you sit with a Lawyer or Accountant as to what is going to be the structure that bests suits what you want to do with the business and your situation.

When you have all the required information you can register a company with an ASIC registered agent via their website. Here you can simply complete the order form. In some instances the order form is extremely simple compared to the ASIC form (this is if you attempt to register the company yourself).

The order form once completed can then be submitted which will be sent to ASIC via the agent's link and your company will be lodged. Depending upon the accuracy of the information you enter and the name availability you can have a company registered within 30 minutes.

From there you will receive your certificate of registration. You can request how you would like to receive it (normally sent immediately via email or fax). You can also decide if you wish to receive the company in a Company Register. This is a Folder that holds all the legal documents that pertain to your company. Or you can simply choose to receive the documents via email which will be sent to you in PDF format. It is recommended that you print out a copy and keep somewhere safe.

In summary: If you use a Registered Agent to register your company it can be quite a simple and fast process just make sure you have the correct information on hand.

Before You Refinance

Before you refinance your current mortgage, do a little financial housekeeping. Check your credit report and make sure all your financial records are in order. This is also a good time to close a couple of unused credit card accounts.

Also, be sure that refinancing your mortgage will actually save you money. The rule of thumb is to make sure that the new refinanced mortgage will pay for itself within three years.

To figure the savings, take the amount you save in reduced payments over three years and subtract the cost of the new loan. This is just a rough estimate since the length of your loans will also make a difference.

Comparing Rates

Online mortgage companies allow you to quickly compare rates by asking you for some basic information. Based on the loan amount, your general credit ranking, and the estimated down payment, you will receive a generic quote. This will give you a rough idea of who is the most competitive lender.

Accurate Quotes

Accurate quotes will only come when you provide the mortgage lender with detailed information. Mortgage rates depend on such factors as your current employment history, home's location, and your precise credit score.

You will also want to add in any points or fees that are part of the loan's cost. At this point in your refinancing process, you should still be comparing financing packages from at least three different lenders.

Applying Online

The hardest part of refinancing a mortgage is finding the right mortgage lender. Once you have found the best rates and fees, you can complete the application process from the convenience of your home.

Online mortgage applications require you to fill out your typical personal and financial information. Once you submit your information, you will receive the final paperwork in the mail within a couple of weeks. You will need to review the terms, sign on the appropriate lines, and have it notarized. The paperwork is then sent back to the mortgage lending company for final approval. The whole process can take less than six weeks.
