Frequently Asked Questions

1. Should I incorporate my Australian business in the United States or in Australia?

CorpAmerica can help you register your business in either the United States or Australia. However, the law prohibits us from giving you advice about which country to choose. Please keep in mind that the process differs for each filing. For a filing in Australia, please contact us at 302-636-5448 to make a nonrefundable US$100 deposit to start the order process. To form a U.S. corporation or LLC, contact us by phone or place an order online.

2. How do I form a branch or subsidiary company in the United States for my Australian company?

Many of our customers create a new corporation or Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the United States. They then use the stock or membership certificates included in our corporate kits to issue ownership in their new business to an existing parent company. Customers usually designate a branch relationship in their internal records. We can assist in forming the new corporation or LLC in the U.S. state of your choice.

3. Can my existing Australian business register to operate in a U.S. state?

Yes, provided your Australian company meets U.S. state filing requirements. State governments sometimes refer to the process of registering an existing business to operate in a U.S. state as "qualification." We request a nonrefundable US$50 deposit to provide the paperwork and fee breakdown for a qualification filing. Contact a Business Specialist at 302-636-5448 to place an order.

4. Where can I learn more about U.S. taxes for international businesses?

You can find more information about this subject on the Internal Revenue Service's Tax Information for International Businesses page.

5. How can I find online resources for companies doing business in Australia?

Customers can obtain information about Australian filing and compliance requirements from the ASIC. Search company names at the National Names Index.
