What the EasyCompanies closure means for you
The impact of EasyCompanies shutting down depends on where you are in your business journey. Here is what you need to know:
- If you were about to register your company: You will need to start the process with a new provider. With Lawpath, company registration is free, and you only pay the government fees.
- If you already registered through EasyCompanies: Your registration is still valid, but ongoing reminders, document storage, and compliance support may no longer be available.
- If you relied on EasyCompanies for renewals or compliance: It is important to act quickly. Missing a deadline for ASIC filings or annual renewals can lead to penalties. Lawpath’s compliance tools can step in immediately.
Simply put, your business is not at risk, but you need a new platform to stay on top of the essentials.
