About EasyCompanies

EasyCompanies is an Australian online platform that streamlines setting up and maintaining a business, without needing to visit an accountant or lawyer. Based in Sydney, New South Wales, they offer services such as company registrations (including proprietary limited companies), business name registrations, ABN (Australian Business Number) applications, TFN (Tax File Number) applications for businesses, and ongoing ASIC (Australian Securities & Investments Commission) compliance support. Their website, easycompanies.com.au, guides users through the registration process with step‑by‑step forms and then lodges the required documents electronically with ASIC and other government agencies.

A charge from EasyCompanies may appear on your bank or credit card statement if you or someone in your organisation recently registered a company, business name, or ABN through their website, or purchased an add‑on such as a registered office address, constitution/document pack, or annual ASIC compliance service. Charges are typically one‑off fees at the time of registration, but there can also be recurring charges if you opted into ongoing services such as annual ASIC compliance reminders, registered office/agent services, or renewals of business names. You might also see a charge around the same time as official ASIC or government fees, as EasyCompanies often collects both their service fee and the statutory fee in a single transaction. In some cases you may briefly see a pending or pre‑authorisation amount when adding or updating a card before the final fee is processed.

If you’re unsure about an EasyCompanies charge, first search your email inbox (and spam folder) for order confirmations or tax invoices from “EasyCompanies” or easycompanies.com.au around the date of the charge, as these will list the exact service purchased. You can also log into your EasyCompanies account on their website to view your past orders, invoices, and subscription/renewal settings. To resolve questions, use the support or contact form on easycompanies.com.au, including your full name, business name, ABN/ACN (if known), and the last four digits of the card that was charged; this helps them locate your transaction. Common billing issues—such as accidental duplicate orders, unwanted renewals, or incorrect company details—are usually handled by their support team, who can advise on refunds, corrections, or cancelling future renewals in line with their published terms and conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was I charged by EasyCompanies even though I only registered a business once?

EasyCompanies typically charges a one‑off service fee each time you lodge a new registration (company, business name, ABN, etc.), plus any ASIC or government fees that may be collected at the same time. If you see more than one charge, it may be because you completed multiple applications (for example, a company registration and then a separate business name, or an ABN plus an add‑on document pack). Log into your EasyCompanies account or check your email invoices to see a breakdown of each order on the date of the charge. If you believe a duplicate payment was taken in error, contact their support team through easycompanies.com.au with your order details.

What are typical EasyCompanies charge amounts I might see on my statement?

EasyCompanies fees depend on the service you selected and whether statutory ASIC/government fees were included in the same payment. For example, a proprietary limited company registration will usually be a larger amount (combining their service fee plus the ASIC company registration fee), while a business name registration, ABN application, or document pack may be a smaller charge. It’s common to see a single total charge rather than separate line items for the service fee and the government fee. Your exact pricing is listed on your invoice and order confirmation email from EasyCompanies.

Why do I see an EasyCompanies charge each year—did I sign up for a subscription?

Some EasyCompanies services, such as business name renewals, registered office/agent services, or annual ASIC compliance/renewal reminders, can involve recurring or repeat payments. If you opted in to have EasyCompanies manage renewals on your behalf, they may automatically process the relevant fee when your business name or service period is due for renewal. You can review and modify your renewal or recurring service settings by logging into your EasyCompanies account and checking your active services. If you no longer want EasyCompanies to manage a renewal, contact support before the renewal date to stop the next charge.

How do I cancel or stop ongoing EasyCompanies services so I’m not charged again?

To cancel ongoing services such as a registered office service, ASIC compliance support, or auto‑renewal of a business name, log into your EasyCompanies account on easycompanies.com.au and review the services or orders linked to your profile. Many renewals can be disabled in your account settings; for others, you may need to contact their support team via the online contact form and request cancellation before the next renewal date. Keep in mind that some ASIC or government‑related fees are tied to regulatory deadlines, so cancelling EasyCompanies’ service does not remove your legal obligations to ASIC. Always confirm in writing (and keep their confirmation email) that recurring billing has been stopped.

How can I get a refund for an EasyCompanies charge I don’t recognise or made in error?

EasyCompanies’ ability to issue refunds is limited once documents have been lodged with ASIC or government agencies, because official fees are typically non‑refundable. However, if an order was duplicated, submitted with incorrect details, or clearly made in error, contact EasyCompanies as soon as possible through their website with your name, email used at checkout, business details, and transaction date. They will review whether their service fee or any unused add‑on can be partially or fully refunded under their terms and conditions. If you suspect unauthorised use of your card, also notify your bank or card issuer immediately while EasyCompanies investigates the transaction.

How do I contact EasyCompanies about a charge on my bank statement?

Go to easycompanies.com.au and use the “Contact” or “Support” section to submit an enquiry, including the amount of the charge, approximate date, and the last four digits of the card used. Providing your full name, email address used at the time of purchase, and any known company, business name, ABN, or ACN will help them locate your record more quickly. They typically respond via email or phone using the contact details you provide. Avoid sharing full card numbers or sensitive banking information; they do not need this to investigate a billing enquiry.

Why do I see a small or pending EasyCompanies amount that later disappears or changes?

When you enter or update a card, your bank may show a small pre‑authorisation or pending amount as EasyCompanies verifies the payment method before processing the full fee. This pending amount is not a completed charge and should either drop off or be replaced by the final transaction amount within a few business days, depending on your bank. If a pending EasyCompanies authorisation remains on your account for longer than your bank’s normal timeframe, contact your bank first, then follow up with EasyCompanies support if needed.

I don’t remember creating an account with EasyCompanies—could someone else in my business have used it?

EasyCompanies is often used by directors, business partners, accountants, or bookkeepers on behalf of a company or individual. The charge may relate to a registration or compliance service arranged by your adviser or a colleague using their own EasyCompanies login but your payment details. Check internally with your co‑director, accountant, or anyone who manages registrations for your business, and search your shared or work email accounts for EasyCompanies invoices. If nobody recognises the transaction, contact EasyCompanies support with the charge details so they can confirm which name and email are linked to the order.
