Adding a Trust as a Shareholder:

Organisation as Trustee:

You need to add an organisation (with the organisation's ASIC name excluding ATF), and then put their role as a shareholder, at the bottom it will ask you "Will these shares be held on behalf of another trust, individual or organisation?", select "yes" and then enter the trust name, (i.e. The Smith Family Trust). Even if you have multiple trustees you should only add one of them.

Many people struggle with assigning entities to their companies so we've organised some simple tips to help make it a breeze.

A company needs at least:

• 1 director that is located Australia (think: who will run the company?)
• 1 shareholder with at least 1 share allocated (think: who people own the company?)
• 1 applicant (the person submitting the company)

Registered Office Address:
A registered office address is used by ASIC to send notices and updates to your company. This needs to be a physical address (no PO boxes) as in some cases, notices may be served in person by ASIC. If your registered office will not be occupied by the company but by, for example, your solicitor or accountant, then the occupier must give written consent for the company to use that address.

Place of Business Address:
In many cases most customers leave this as the same as their registered office. Similar to the registered office this needs to be a physical address (no PO boxes).

Director/Secretary Details:

• Must have at least one director that resides within Australia (PTY LTD companies).
• A secretary is not required, however if there are secretary roles assigned, at least one must reside in Australia.
• First Name / Last Name / Previous Names
• Residential Address
• Date of Birth (must be at least 18 years old)
• Place of Birth (and city/state if Australia)

Shareholder Details:

• Must have at least one shareholder. But can have no more than 50 shareholders.
• Can be either an individual or a company
• First Name / Last Name / Previous Names (if individual)
• Company Name
• Residential Address
• Type of shares (ORD is most common).
• Dollar Value and Amount of Shares (1 share @ $1 is most common)
