To create a Weel account for your business or organisation, we need to collect and verify certain information about you and your business. Learn more about why we require this information.
There are three categories of information we require for Companies Limited by Guarantee . This structure is commonly used by not-for-profits, charities and foundations.
- Applicant - the individual person applying for Weel on behalf of the business
- Business - the details of the business you're creating a business account for
- Stakeholders - associated with the business
You can confirm your business structure by searching the Australian Business Register.
Note: Please note this is a guide on the baseline information, there may be additional information required at a later stage.
