Earn recurring commission for clients you would refer anyway
If you advise companies that are expanding into Australia, you already field the questions: how do we register, who can be our resident director, what does ASIC compliance involve. Refer that client to AusBusinessRegister.com.au and we handle 100% of the delivery, while you earn a commission on every service they take up. Your client gets a fixed-fee, CA-led team looking after their Australian setup, and you add a revenue line without adding workload. There is no cost to join and the program is non-exclusive.
Who the program is for
A referred client is pre-qualified and converts far better than a cold enquiry, so we keep the program focused on the four partner types whose clients are genuinely moving into Australia:
- Accountants and bookkeepers serving international clients. When an overseas client needs an Australian entity, ABN, GST registration or ongoing ASIC and ATO compliance, you refer the local delivery and keep owning the relationship.
- Immigration lawyers helping founders and businesses relocate or expand. Company registration, a director identification number and a resident director often sit right alongside the visa work you are already doing.
- Business consultants and advisors guiding market-entry strategy. Once the strategy lands on Australia, we are the operator who executes the registration and compliance so your advice turns into a running entity.
- Overseas company-formation agents in the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, the US and elsewhere. Australia is a market you are unlikely to deliver yourself. Refer it to us and earn on work you would otherwise turn away.
How it works
Introduce your client or send them through your unique referral link. A 90-day tracking cookie means you are credited even if they take their time deciding.
We handle the entire engagement: registration, resident director or local agent, ABN and GST, and ongoing compliance, all at transparent fixed fees. You do not touch the delivery.
Once your referred client pays, your commission is calculated and paid monthly, Net-30, once your balance reaches AU$250. Recurring services keep paying year after year.
Commission structure
| Service referred | Your commission |
|---|---|
| Branch registration | 15-20% one-time |
| Subsidiary formation | 15-20% one-time |
| Resident director / local agent | 10% first year, then 5% recurring |
| ABN / GST registration | AU$50 to AU$100 flat per referral |
| Ongoing compliance | 10% recurring |
Commissions are calculated on the net service fee, excluding ASIC government charges and GST. Recurring commissions on resident director, local agent and ongoing compliance continue for as long as the client stays with us. See the full price list on our services and pricing page.

Frequently asked questions
How and when do I get paid?
Commissions accumulate in your partner account and are paid monthly by bank transfer on a Net-30 basis once the referred client has paid their invoice. Payments are released once your balance reaches the AU$250 minimum.
What is the commission on a resident-director referral?
Resident director and local agent referrals earn 10% in the first year and 5% recurring for every year the client renews, calculated on the net service fee.
Is there a cost to join?
No. Joining the partner program is completely free, and it is non-exclusive, so you can refer to us alongside any other arrangements you have.
How are referrals tracked?
Each partner gets a unique referral link with a 90-day tracking cookie, so a client who clicks through is credited to you even if they take weeks or months to engage. You can also introduce clients directly and we will attribute them to your account.
Can overseas agents join?
Yes. Overseas company-formation agents and advisors in the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, the US and elsewhere are among our most active partners. Australia is a market you are unlikely to deliver yourself, so referring it to us turns work you would otherwise decline into recurring income.
