Product Overview
ASIC Registered Agents act as intermediaries between officeholders of Australian companies and ASIC to help companies meet their lodgement obligations more efficiently. As the company’s ASIC agent, ABN Australia:
- receive all correspondence from ASIC relating to the company annual review statement and fees payable;
- send ASIC invoice statements to you for fees due or any late fees that need your attention;
- are able to download a current ASIC search and debt reports for the company at no cost;
- Lodge an unlimited number of change of company notices with ASIC;
- prepare the company's ASIC Annual Review Company Statement and directors solvency resolution and send them to you;
- use our ASIC EDGE approved software which means you no longer are required to administer Corporate Keys for each company;
- lodge ASIC documents for each company so that you have proof of receipt of lodgement at ASIC;
Details of every company registered in Australia are kept on ASIC’s corporate register. Corporations Law requires registered companies to keep and maintain appropriate statutory records in relation to directors, shareholders and other matters. In addition to the ongoing maintenance requirements, each company has an obligation to review the company statement issued by ASIC each year to ensure that the database of ASIC matches the office holder and shareholder ownership of the company.

- Change of company addresses
- Appointment and cessation of company officeholders
- Adding or removing ultimate holding company

ASIC late fees and penalties
Did you know that The Corporations Act 2001 requires companies to tell ASIC of changes to details generally within 28 days after the change has occurred? In fact ASIC imposes strict lodgement criteria and imposes heavy fines to ensure the integrity of its database. The penalty for late lodgement begins at $88, with failure to lodge documents with the Commission upwards of $1,000 or even 3 months imprisonment. Outsourcing to ABN Australia significantly reduces the chance of incurring such penalty fees, saving you money whilst ensuring you remain on good terms with your end client.
