How We Support Your Business

1. Act as Your ASIC Registered Agent
We officially register as your company’s agent with ASIC, so we can manage all communications and compliance lodgements for you.

2. Manage Your Corporate Registry
Our team maintains your company’s corporate registry details using ASIC EDGE-approved software, ensuring your records are always up to date.

3. Handle Annual Compliance
We prepare and lodge your company’s Annual Review Statement and director’s solvency resolution every year.

4. Process Changes to Your Company Details
We prepare and lodge all necessary ASIC forms and governance documents for:

  • Change of company addresses

  • Appointment or resignation of directors and secretaries

  • Changes to shareholder details

  • Updates to share structure

  • Ultimate holding company changes

  • Company resolutions (e.g., change of company name)

5. Help You Avoid Costly Penalties
Under the Corporations Act 2001, most changes to company details must be lodged with ASIC within 28 days. Missing these deadlines can lead to fines starting from $80 and escalating to thousands of dollars or more for significant non-compliance. With ABN Australia managing this for you, you can stay compliant and avoid unnecessary penalties.

6. Take Care of Reminders and Deadlines
We track your company’s ASIC filing deadlines and send proactive reminders, so nothing slips through the cracks.

7. Provide Expert Advice and Support
Our experienced team will answer your questions and provide guidance to ensure your company’s compliance is always on the right track.
