No Australian director?
We are one.
An Australian Pty Ltd cannot exist without at least one director who ordinarily resides in Australia. If your whole team sits offshore, that single rule blocks the company, the bank account and the ABN. Bizvee appoints a vetted resident nominee director — you keep 100% of the shares and every decision.

What's included
Compliance cover, not just a name on a form.
A vetted resident director
An Australian-resident individual, identity-verified and holding a Director ID, appointed to satisfy section 201A of the Corporations Act.
ASIC appointment lodged
Consent to act, board resolution and Form 484 prepared and lodged so your ASIC record is correct from day one.
Indemnity & nominee deed
A signed deed that keeps control, shares and decision-making with you, and indemnifies the nominee for acts you direct.
Director ID handled
Your nominee already holds an ABRS Director Identification Number, so there is no 28-day scramble after incorporation.
Bank & ATO friendly
Banks and the ATO regularly ask who your resident director is. We supply the paperwork they request, at no extra cost.
Annual renewal
One flat A$375 each year covers the appointment, ASIC housekeeping and re-signing of the deed. No hourly billing.
How it works
Appointed in four steps.
Already incorporating with Bizvee? Add the nominee during formation and the company is born compliant.
- 01
Tell us about the company
Company name (or the formation in progress), business activity and where your shareholders are based.
- 02
KYC on the beneficial owners
Passport and proof of address for each owner and controlling person. Australian law requires it before a nominee can act.
- 03
Deed signed both ways
You sign the nominee and indemnity deed; the nominee signs their consent to act. Everything is e-signed.
- 04
Appointment lodged
We lodge with ASIC and send you the updated company extract. Renewal reminders arrive 30 days before each anniversary.
Who this is for
Offshore founders opening an Australian arm, e-commerce sellers needing an Australian entity for marketplaces, and groups whose only Australian director has resigned.
You stay in control
The nominee holds no shares, no bank mandate and no casting vote. Every act is on your written instruction, recorded in the deed.
Pairs well with
An Australian registered office address, ABN registration and ASIC annual review — so the whole compliance stack sits with one provider.
FAQ
Nominee director questions, answered.
Why does my Pty Ltd need an Australian resident director?+
Section 201A of the Corporations Act 2001 requires every proprietary company to have at least one director who ordinarily resides in Australia. Without one, ASIC can refuse the registration or later deregister the company.
Does the nominee control my company?+
No. The nominee holds no shares, has no signing authority over your bank accounts and acts only on the written instructions of the beneficial owners. The deed spells this out and is enforceable.
What is included in the A$375?+
The annual appointment of the resident director, the ASIC lodgement of the appointment, the nominee and indemnity deed, and standard document requests from banks or the ATO during the year.
What is not covered?+
Anything that requires the nominee to take on active management, sign contracts, guarantee debts or act as public officer for tax purposes. Those are quoted separately. We also cannot act for companies in regulated sectors without prior review.
Can I replace the nominee later?+
Yes. Once you or a colleague become an Australian resident, we lodge the resignation and your own appointment with ASIC. There is no exit fee.
How quickly can the nominee be appointed?+
Usually 2–3 business days from completed KYC. New companies can be incorporated with the nominee already named as director, so there is no gap in compliance.
