What changes must be reported to ASIC?

Changes to directors, addresses (registered office and officeholders), shareholdings and company name must be lodged within strict timeframes, most within 28 days. Late lodgement attracts fees.

Registered ASIC agents

ASIC compliance & annual reviews without letters you're afraid to open

Q: What is the ASIC annual review?

Each year, around your company's registration anniversary, ASIC issues an annual statement and invoice. You must check the details, pay the annual review fee and have the directors pass a solvency resolution. Miss the payment window and late fees apply automatically.

Q: What happens if I ignore ASIC letters?

Late fees escalate quickly, and prolonged non-payment can lead to ASIC deregistering the company, which means it legally ceases to exist and its assets can vest with ASIC. It is one of the most avoidable disasters in company ownership.

Q: What does a registered ASIC agent do for me?

As your registered agent, we receive your ASIC correspondence, manage the annual review, lodge changes on time and keep your company details correct, so nothing depends on a letter reaching your mailbox.

Q: Can you deregister a company I no longer use?

Yes. If the company meets the requirements, voluntary deregistration stops the annual fees legally and cleanly. We check the preconditions (assets, liabilities, tax obligations) and handle the process.

Annual reviews, company statements, changes and deadlines managed by your registered ASIC agent. Late fees become a thing that happens to other companies.

The short answer

Every Australian company has ongoing ASIC obligations: the annual review (statement + fee + solvency resolution), keeping company details current (directors, addresses, shares, mostly within 28 days of any change) and responding to correspondence. As your registered ASIC agent we handle all of it, from the day we register your company or take over an existing one.

What we handle

Your ASIC obligations, all of them

Annual review managed

Statement checked, fee paid on time, solvency resolution prepared and filed with your records. Zero late fees.

Details always current

New director? Moved office? Shares transferred? Lodged within the deadline (usually 28 days), documented properly.

Registered agent inbox

ASIC correspondence comes to us, so nothing critical dies in a mailbox or a spam folder while you run the business.

Statutory registers

Member and officeholder registers kept current, with ASIC minutes and the annual solvency resolution prepared and filed each year, the way the Corporations Act expects.

Company changes & restructures

Name changes, share issues, constitution updates: executed with the tax angle checked at the same time (see Business Tax).

Deregistration done right

Company no longer needed? Voluntary deregistration stops the fees cleanly, once assets, liabilities and tax are squared away.

Why it matters

Small fees, brutal escalation

ASIC compliance is cheap when it's on time and expensive when it isn't: late fees stack automatically, and a company that stops responding can end up deregistered, with its assets vesting in ASIC. Directors carry personal responsibilities here too.
