Australian Resident (non-executive) Directors with flexible payment options and very competitive prices for both dormant and active companies! Read on for more reasons to appoint one of our Resident Directors, or get started with your obligation free quote.
For all private companies registered in Australia, ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) requires that at least one local Australian resident be appointed as a director for the company at all times.
The director residency rule can be a major hurdle for overseas businesses wishing to establish a subsidiary or other business presence in Australia. Director Corporate Services (“DCS”) has designed a cost-effective and seamless solution, which in many overseas jurisdictions is referred to as a ‘Nominee Director’. Refer to the Corporations Act, ASIC and the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) for more information on the applicable regulations and requirements.
Due to Australian regulations, a company director is responsible for significant aspects of the business regardless of whether he or she is appointed in a nominee capacity, or as an actual managing director. For this reason, we use the term “Resident Director“ for all directorship appointments that our pool of directors provides.
Appointing a Resident Director can be a complex matter, with so many obligations, questions, regulations and rules to be aware of. DCS provide you with fast access to a pool of directors who have passed our comprehensive credit and background checks.
