Do I need a Company Constitution?
Your business is valuable – you’re going to invest time and money into its success. This should mean you want to retain as much control as possible when it comes to how decisions are made.
A Company Constitution is crucial to this because it governs the way your company is managed and operated. Electing to use your own Company Constitution gives you control over how your business responds to issues. It can also be used to minimise risk in your business by providing clear guidance for the future.

Why not use the Replaceable Rules instead?
Most companies are required by law to have a constitution and must adopt one during company registration. Companies can choose between creating their own constitution or adopting the Replaceable Rules (or both).
Without a Company Constitution, you will be left to rely on and interpret the Replaceable Rules. In many cases, these rules may be insufficient or difficult to apply to your circumstances.
Having your own Company Constitution gives you clarity and control over the most important aspects of your business. It’s also constructed with your business in mind, which means you won’t have to rely on a generic set of rules to make decisions for you.
