Direct answer
Prepare one consistent fact and evidence pack before a corporate service provider starts the Bizfile application. The pack should connect the proposed company to its owners, funding, directors, secretary plan, registered office, business activities, constitution, controllers, approvals and post-registration owners. It supports filing preparation; it does not register the company or decide legal, tax, licence, immigration or banking questions.
Preparation sequence
- Confirm the proposed name, activities, financial year end, ownership, capital and funding trail.
- Prepare shareholder, controller, director, secretary-plan and registered-office facts through an authorized secure route.
- Approve the constitution and reconcile it with the cap table, founder arrangements and decision rights.
- Review the Bizfile inputs, preserve submission evidence, and assign every post-registration action and recurring deadline.
Decisions to record
Do the ownership records agree?
Reconcile legal names, identifiers, share classes, share numbers, percentages, issue price, controllers, funding source, approvals and any founder or nominee arrangement.
Are the officer and address facts filing-ready?
Record the current residence, eligibility, consent and relationship facts for each officer, plus the authority, accessibility and mail route for the registered office.
Can a reviewer trace every filing input?
Link the proposed name, activities, financial year end, capital, officers, address, constitution and controller information to a source document and decision owner.
What still happens after registration?
Assign the secretary appointment, registers, share evidence, tax, licences, bank, accounting, employment, data, contract and recurring filing work rather than treating incorporation as completion.
Evidence to organize
- Name-search record and plain-language activity description
- Ownership chart, capitalization table, source-of-funds record and controller information
- Officer identities, residence and consent evidence requested through a secure channel
- Registered-office authority and mail-handling process
- Approved constitution, company decisions and filing review copy
- Registration acknowledgement, live-record check and post-registration action register
Example decision record
Fact: the proposed company has two founders, but the draft cap table rounds their percentages and does not show issue price. Action: reconcile the exact shares and subscription amounts before the Bizfile review. Escalate any unresolved ownership or controller conclusion to the appropriate qualified owner.
