An ASIC-regulated entity holding an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) is available for acquisition, offering a compliant, operational, and scalable platform for groups seeking an established and regulated presence in Australia. The setup provides immediate regulatory coverage, existing banking access, and trading infrastructure.
Key Highlights:
🔹 Company Structure: Australia-incorporated and regulated entity operating under an active AFSL. The business maintains a clean corporate profile and a lean operating structure, allowing for efficient transition and rapid strategic repositioning post-acquisition.
🔹 Regulatory Status: Holds a valid and active AFSL issued by the ASIC, authorising the provision of general financial product advice and dealing activities across FX contracts, derivatives, securities, deposit and payment products, and interests in managed investment schemes, to both retail and wholesale clients. No known regulatory issues.
🔹 Licensed Business Scope: The licence permits general financial product advice and dealing activities across a broad range of financial products, including foreign exchange contracts, derivatives, securities, and managed investment schemes. Historically, the business model has focused on the distribution of technical analysis for FX, Gold, and Silver, fully within the scope of the AFSL permissions.
🔹 Capital & Financial Profile: The entity meets applicable regulatory capital requirements, with a minimum capital threshold of AUD 100k, providing a compliant base for continued or expanded operations.
🔹 Operational Footprint & Cost Base: Ongoing monthly operating costs range between AUD 6 – 8k, reflecting a streamlined and institutional-ready structure with low fixed overheads.
🔹 Client & Revenue Profile: Currently maintains one institutional subscriber generating approximately AUD 500 per month in subscription revenue. The platform is otherwise lightly utilised, offering immediate capacity for growth, relaunch, or strategic realignment.
🔹 Banking & Payments Infrastructure: A local Australian bank account is already in place, supporting operational readiness and facilitating smoother onboarding with counterparties and service providers.
This ASIC-regulated AFSL entity represents a time-efficient and low-risk acquisition opportunity for groups seeking regulated coverage for general financial product advice and dealing activities (including FX, derivatives, and securities) in Australia – avoiding the delays, cost, and uncertainty associated with applying for a new licence from scratch.
