Key points
The directory covers sole proprietorships and partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships and local companies. These routes are not interchangeable. The structure chosen affects the information, position holders and registration process, so the relevant instructions should be selected before preparing a filing.
Planning your next steps
The local-company route additionally leads to decisions about company type, officers, capital and constitutional arrangements. For practical preparation, keep the intended entity type consistent across name reservation and registration, and consult the separate eligibility and naming guides linked by ACRA. This page is a directory of procedures rather than a single application checklist covering every entity or an assurance that one structure suits every business.
