Are you looking to enter the Australian market as a MLM branch office of a foreign company?

Our firm represent a number of top 100 USA direct selling companies within Australia. We have found that a number of USA firm use ‘Pack and Ship’ as a means to enter the Australian market place before moving to an Australian based warehouse. While this can be a low cost E-business approach to international expansion, these firms often fail to register with the appropriate Australian authorities and consequently are often in violation of several Australian corporate compliance regimes.

Australia has a number of complicated legal, accounting, taxation and audit requirements that foreign companies need to understand before selling products into Australia.

For example, a foreign company still needs to register with ASIC and appoint a local agent as representative.
