OUR SERVICES
At AFSL Express, we specialise in helping financial professionals navigate the complexities of the Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) framework. Whether you are looking to establish your own AFSL or operate under an existing one, our expert support ensures that you remain compliant while focusing on growing your financial services business. With extensive industry experience, we provide the tools, resources, and regulatory guidance necessary to streamline your operations and meet ASIC’s stringent requirements.
Applying for an AFSL can be a challenging and time-consuming process, but we make it easier by handling the complexities on your behalf. Our team assists with AFSL applications and setup, ensuring that all necessary documentation is completed correctly. From drafting policies to lodging applications and liaising with ASIC, we simplify the process and increase your chances of approval. We understand the legal and operational challenges involved in obtaining an AFSL and provide the strategic guidance needed to establish a fully compliant financial services firm.
Once your AFSL is granted, maintaining compliance is an ongoing requirement. We help businesses develop and implement robust compliance frameworks that align with regulatory obligations. Our services include drafting policies for risk management, conflict of interest handling, and dispute resolution, ensuring your firm operates in full compliance with ASIC regulations. We also offer compliance training, helping your staff stay informed about their obligations and best practices.
For firms that require additional compliance oversight, we provide ongoing compliance support to ensure they meet their AFSL obligations. Our team conducts regular compliance reviews, audit preparation, and ongoing monitoring, helping financial professionals avoid costly regulatory breaches. We also assist in keeping up with regulatory updates, ensuring that your business remains compliant with evolving laws and industry standards.
A key requirement for AFSL holders is the appointment of a Responsible Manager who meets ASIC’s competency standards. We offer Responsible Manager training, nomination, and ongoing support to ensure that your compliance obligations are met. If your firm requires an experienced Responsible Manager, we can assist in providing one who is fully qualified and capable of fulfilling ASIC’s requirements. Our services also include tailored training programs designed to enhance the skills of your existing team, ensuring they understand their roles and responsibilities under the AFSL framework.
Financial compliance and reporting are crucial to maintaining your AFSL. We offer financial compliance services, including preparing financial statements, conducting solvency testing, and coordinating audits. By ensuring accurate reporting and adherence to financial regulations, we help safeguard your business from potential compliance issues. At AFSL Express, we take care of the regulatory challenges so you can focus on what you do best—building a successful financial services firm. Contact us today to learn how we can support your AFSL journey.
At AFSL Express, our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision—to provide financial professionals with the resources and expertise needed to establish and operate their own financial services firm. With 27 years of financial services experience and 18 years managing an AFSL, we have firsthand knowledge of the challenges faced by advisers wishing to start their own firms. Navigating the Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) landscape can be complex, and we recognised the need for a trusted partner to guide professionals through the regulatory process with confidence.

Our approach is built on industry knowledge, regulatory expertise, and a deep understanding of ASIC requirements. We don’t just offer advice—we actively assist in setting up, managing, and maintaining AFSL structures that allow financial professionals to grow their businesses while remaining compliant.
Over the years, we have helped numerous advisers and corporate authorised representatives establish and expand their financial services operations. We understand that each professional’s journey is different, which is why we offer flexible solutions—whether you want to operate under our AFSL or work towards obtaining your own. Our ability to provide Responsible Manager oversight, business structuring, and compliance support ensures that you can operate with confidence in an ever-evolving regulatory landscape.
