Create a company in Australia

Australia encourages investments in the country. Investors are very welcome and conditions to make business in Australia are optimum.

In order to find out more about investments in Australia, please consult the guide entitled «Ten good reasons» to make business in Australia at austrade.com/Ten-Good-Reasons---A-Summary/default.aspx.

If you start a business in Australia, or if you intend to work freelance, you will have to get an ABN (Australian Business Number). You can ask your ABN online. For more information about the ABN number, please visit the ATO website at ato.gov.au/corporate/content.asp?doc=/content/50568.htm.

Good to know:

You can’t ask for an investor’s visa if you have no former management experience. Your managerial skills in your home country will be analysed in details before the immigration service grants you an investor visa. A prospective trip to Australia is also highly recommended before asking for a long-term visa in Australia.
