Immigration
Business Setup in Australia.
An Advisory Engagement — Not A Visa.
This is the one entry in our Australian menu that is not a visa. If you are looking for a way to live in Australia, start with the three routes that are.
End-to-end support for entrepreneurs and investors establishing a company in Australia: strategic planning, legal and regulatory compliance, financial structuring, marketing, and operational setup. It is the work that comes after you have a right to be there — and it grants no such right by itself.
Exciting, And Complex.
Starting a business in Australia is a genuinely good idea and a genuinely intricate one. We work across five pillars, from the plan through to the day the doors open, with the local regulation and industry practice already accounted for.
Personalised Business Plans
A plan built for your venture and for the Australian market, rather than a template — and one that will stand up if a visa application later asks to see it.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Navigating the registration, taxation and compliance requirements that follow from your industry, your structure and your state or territory.
Financial Structuring
How the business is funded and held, and how that funding is evidenced — to a bank, to a partner, or to the Department of Home Affairs.
Marketing and Strategic Planning
Going to market in Australia: positioning, channels and the strategy behind the first year of trading.
Operational Setup and Resource Planning
Premises, systems, suppliers and people — the work of turning an approved plan into a company that trades.
A Stable and Supportive Economy
A strong, resilient economy with low corruption and a transparent legal system — a reliable environment for growth.
Access to a Skilled Workforce
A highly educated and diverse talent pool, which makes hiring qualified people across most industries realistic.
Business-Friendly Regulations
Clear published processes for registration, taxation and compliance, in a supportive regulatory environment.
A Gateway to the Asia-Pacific
Strategically placed, with free trade agreements into major Asian markets — well suited to international trade and expansion.
Government Grants and Incentives
Eligible businesses can access grants, tax incentives and funding programs, particularly in innovation, R&D and regional development.
A High Quality of Life
World-class infrastructure and healthcare, and a work-life balance that makes Australia attractive to founders and their families.
Certain Business Visas Reach Permanent Residency
For foreign entrepreneurs, some business visas can lead to permanent residence. Those are visas, applied for separately — not this engagement.
What This Engagement Is Not
It is not a visa, and it cannot become one. There is no application to the Department of Home Affairs, no visa subclass, no term, and no residence outcome. Nothing on this page gives anyone a right to enter, live or work in Australia.
It is not a prerequisite for one either. None of Australia's three visa routes require this service. If you are choosing how to get to Australia, that choice is between the National Innovation Visa, the Employer Sponsored visa and General Skilled Migration — and we would rather tell you that than sell you consultancy you do not yet need.
Where it earns its place is beside a visa: once you have the right to operate, this is the work of actually operating.
The Setup, Tracked Like A File
Company formation runs on documents and deadlines in the same way a visa application does — registrations, licences, funding evidence. The Bayat Group panel holds all of it in one place, alongside your visa file if you have one with us.
Scoped First, Then Quoted.
The three Australian visa routes each publish a fee table, because a visa has fixed government charges behind it. This engagement does not, and we would rather say so than print a number that will not survive contact with your business.
Why There Is No Term Sheet on This Page
The engagement is scoped to your venture, and its cost follows the scope. A single-director consulting company registered in one state is not the same piece of work as a licensed operation across three, with staff, premises and imported stock — and no honest single figure covers both.
So the first conversation is free and it is a scoping conversation. Tell us what the business is, where it will operate and what you already have in place, and we will come back with a written scope and a fixed quote against it.
If what you actually need is a visa, say so and we will point you at the right one instead — the three Australian routes are compared here, and none of them require this service.
Five Steps to an Australian Business
Select a step to see what it turns on. The first one is a visa question rather than a business one, which is why it comes first.
Have the Legal Right to Operate in Australia
The first of the five is not a business question — it is a visa question, and this engagement does not answer it. Before any of the four steps that follow matters, you need a lawful basis to operate in Australia. That comes from one of the visa routes: the National Innovation Visa, the Employer Sponsored visa, General Skilled Migration, or one of the subclass 188 investor streams. Start there, and bring us in alongside.
Scope It Out. Then Decide.
Our concierge answers your Australian business questions in minutes — and will tell you plainly if what you actually need first is a visa. The scoping conversation costs nothing, and the quote that follows it is fixed against a written scope.
