Licensing

We have been helping financial services professionals obtain licences since 2001.
Getting a new licence - AFSL & ACL

The licence application process can be overwhelming. A quick glance at ASIC’s licensing kits will show you ASIC’s expectations and the documentation required from the moment you apply for a licence. You will need to deal with

  • Organisational Competence
  • Compliance Arrangements
  • Managing Conflicts of Interest
  • Representatives and Human Resources
  • Financial Requirements
  • Technological Resources
  • Dispute Resolution
  • Risk Management
  • Research
  • Anti-Money Laundering / Counter Terrorism Financing
  • and more

We can draft all proofs required for your licence application. Upon approval from you, we will lodge the application on your behalf and deal with all queries that ASIC may pose before deciding on your licence application

Licence applications are all about detail. ASIC rejects many applications because details within those application are incorrect, poorly expressed and inadequately executed by inexperienced applicants. We work closely with you, and one member of our team will be your champion, ensuring your licence application is skilfully and actively managed throughout the licensing process.

Seamless service

Once you obtain your own licence, you’ll need ongoing compliance, helpful templates, a quality client service agreement, and probably agreements between the AFSL and authorised representatives. Our association with Halsey Legal Services means these can be seamlessly provided to you.

Financial planners

Many financial planners are finding that their clients are increasingly uncomfortable with connections with product providers, and are seeking advice from a professional who is independent. We can assist you to efficiently obtain your own licence.

Managed funds

There are many types of different managed funds. Fund managers and trustees may require an AFSL. These licences generally require assistance from people experienced with the establishment and running of managed funds. Our staff have this experience, and provide a superior service.

Licence Variations

Business changes, and your licence authorisations or responsible managers may change, so you may also need to vary your licence. We can help you with this, providing our skills and experience to efficiently achieve your licence variation.
