Expanding Your Business into Australia

Considering a business expansion into Australia?

This guide provides a roadmap for navigating the exciting possibilities and important considerations of entering the Australian market.

 

Choosing Your Presence:

  • Light Presence: Ideal for online ventures or minimal local operations. Maintain your foreign business status and utilise services like:
    • E-commerce fulfilment via Australian providers
    • Local sales representatives
  • Full Presence: Establish a strong local foothold with an Australian subsidiary company. This allows for:
    • Direct invoicing of customers
    • Employing local staff
    • Access to a wider range of business opportunities

 

Key Considerations:

  • Compliance: Australian laws and regulations govern everything from taxation to employment. Seeking guidance from Australian accountants ensures a smooth transition.
  • Speed to Market: Striking a balance between swift entry and necessary legal and administrative processes is crucial.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Explore options like outsourcing specific tasks (HR, accounting) to minimise overhead.
  • Taxation: Understanding Australian tax structures, including GST (Goods and Services Tax), is essential for financial planning.
Business Expansion into Australia

Available Business Expansion Models:

  1. Light Presence:
  • 1a. E-commerce & Website Sales: Sell directly to Australian customers through your existing website and leverage fulfilment providers for local deliveries.
  • 1b. Representative/Sales Office: Establish a local presence with sales staff but remain a foreign business.
  1. Full Presence:
  • 2a. Australian Subsidiary Company: The most common option, offering full legal and operational independence within Australia. Requires a local resident director.

  • Rasika and I both worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers and legacy firms, Rasika worked first in Colombo, then in Fiji, and lastly in Southern Africa. Rasika left PWC and migrated to Australia to join a Sydney-based second-tier firm, where he was soon made a partner. During his tenure at PWC Rasika worked directly with me in the middle market Assurance Division. Rasika played a leading role in growing the practice not only by providing excellent service to existing clients but also by pursuing new clients and business development opportunities.
