How We Can Help You

Our Expertise and Experience

All businesses that provide, or are intending to provide, financial services to retail or wholesale clients, or engage in credit activities, must generally obtain an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) or an Australian Credit Licence (ACL), or be authorised under an AFSL or ACL. Our licensing compliance consultants have in depth expertise assisting financial services or credit-related businesses in obtaining or varying an AFSL, including Foreign AFSLs and Limited AFSLs, or an ACL. Our licensing compliance consultants simplify and guide you throughout the entire process until you are granted an AFSL or ACL, while maintaining affordable fixed-fee pricing. Our licensing compliance consultants can also assist crypto businesses with obtaining appropriate licensing which may include obtaining an AFSL, ACL or AUSTRAC Registration.
