Adding a Company
Adding a company to myStake can be done as part of the startup process. You need to be a company secretary and have completed the account set up (registration) to add a company.
If you have completed the account set up process and wish to add a company, click on Add Company in the navigation pane:
There are 4 steps to complete when adding a company.
The information entered during the myStake company registration process will not be called upon until all four sections are completed and your company is deployed.
For example, company officers will only receive invitations to join your company on myStake once your company has been deployed.
This means that you are free to cancel your company during this time if you wish to start this process from the beginning. Additionally, if a mistake was corrected during the registration process then there will be no record of the mistake. However, note that once you complete the registration process and your company is deployed on myStake, every action will become a part of an immutable record, including any mistakes.
These are the 4 steps:
myStake will guide you through each step.
This is the information required to add a company:
Company Name | The legally registered name of your company, as per the Certificate of Registration of a Company, provided by ASIC. |
Company Number | The ACN of your company, as per the Certificate of Registration of a Company, provided by ASIC. This number is a 9 digit number (as distinct to an ABN number which is 11 digits). The ACN is usually the last 9 digits of the ABN |
Company Shortcode | This is a 2-4 letter code to represent the company. It is simply used to identify company shared within myStake. This is similar to a ticker code that publicly listed companies have. (For example, the Australian Securities Exchange has a code of ASX). |
Place of business | This is the current place of business address that is registered with ASIC. |
Registered Address | This is the current registered address of the company that is registered with ASIC. |
Officer details | Names, addresses, email address, Date of Birth and Place of Birth for each director as per the details registered with ASIC |
