Our experience working with Paul Muir has been nothing short of exceptional. Clients trust Paul with major compliance projects as well as ad-hoc queries and he always gets the job done. It could range from a licensing query one day to a distribution query the next. Paul is very responsive and well-connected in the industry. He has a knack for making things simple – as Leonardo da Vinci put it, ‘simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’.

The timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of your application, the authorisations required, the quality of your supporting information, and ASIC’s review process. ASIC has reported that many new AFS licence and variation applications are decided within 150 days, but some applications may take longer if further information is required.
An AFS licence application generally requires information about your business, the financial services and products you intend to provide, your responsible managers, compliance arrangements, systems, people and resources. ASIC also assesses whether the applicant can meet its general obligations, including organisational competence.
Yes. We can assist with AFS licence variations where your business needs to add or change authorisations, financial services, products, or responsible managers. ASIC requires licence variations to be submitted through the ASIC Regulatory Portal.
One of our focus is the general insurance sector. We also work with insurers, underwriting agencies, brokers, claim managers, TPAs, claimant intermediaries and related financial services businesses that need practical licensing and compliance support.
Training your people will remember, built for the way you do business.
