Company Formation in New Zealand

New Zealand Company Formation Services

ShelfCompanies24 provides fast, affordable New Zealand company formation services for international entrepreneurs. New Zealand’s fully digital registration system allows us to complete the incorporation process in as little as one business day.

Our Formation Process

1. Consultation: We discuss your business objectives and confirm that a New Zealand Ltd company is the right structure for your needs.
2. Name Check: We verify your preferred company name is available on the Companies Office register.
3. Document Preparation: We prepare the constitution (if a custom constitution is desired — NZ companies can also operate under the model rules in the Companies Act), director and shareholder consents, and the incorporation application.
4. Online Filing: We submit the incorporation application to the Companies Office. Processing is typically same-day.
5. Post-Registration: We assist with IRD number application, GST registration (if applicable), and bank account introduction.

Resident Director Service

New Zealand requires at least one director who is resident in New Zealand or Australia. ShelfCompanies24 provides professional resident director nominees for international clients who do not have a local contact.

Pricing

Our New Zealand formation package starts from NZD 500 and includes Companies Office filing, registered office address for the first year, company documentation, and ongoing support. Add-ons include resident director, IRD and GST registration, and banking introduction.
