Register a Company $160

Registering a company online is as simple as reserving your company name, completing the incorporation details and returning your signed consent forms.

Here are the recommended steps

1. Conduct a Register Search (FREE) to ensure that an identical or almost identical company name does not already exist on the register.
2. We also recommend a trade mark search.  You want to avoid another business claiming your name is ‘confusingly similar’ to their trading name.
3. Reserve your company name (NZ$10).  This will reserve your chosen name for 20 days.
4. If you intend to apply for a company IRD number and register for GST during the company registration process we recommend you search for your Business Industry Description and Business Industry Code (BIC) using the BIC search engine.
5. Register the company details (NZ$150).  Once you have reserved a company name proceed to register your company online.  Have your incorporation details ready to enter (every company must have at least one director, one shareholder and a physical address).
6. Apply for a company IRD number and register for GST at the same time (optional).
7. Upload a constitution for your company (optional).
8. Once you have submitted your company details online you will be emailed a consent form for each director and a consent form for each shareholder to sign.  Upload or fax each consent form to complete your registration.
