ASIC Registered Agent and Annual Review
Every Australian company has an ASIC annual review date. Each year the details have to be confirmed, the ASIC fee paid and the directors' solvency resolution passed, whether anything has changed or not. Miss one and ASIC adds late fees. We look after the whole cycle for you as your ASIC registered agent.

Our fees
| Service | Price | Inc GST |
|---|---|---|
| Annual review package - agent service, statement check, solvency resolution and reminders | $290 + GST a year | $319 |
| Add or remove a director - lodged with ASIC on Form 484 | $120 + GST per change | $132 |
| Share transfer - one-to-one transfer, each extra shareholder $60 + GST | $180 + GST per transfer | $198 |
| Address change - registered office, principal place of business, officeholder or shareholder address | $90 + GST per change | $99 |
The ASIC government fee is paid by you, direct to ASIC. For a standard Pty Ltd it is $342 for 2026-27 ($70 for a company that only acts as an SMSF trustee). ASIC indexes it each 1 July, and it is due two months after your review date.
How it works
- Sign once. You e-sign our agent appointment form online, and we add your company to our ASIC agent portfolio.
- We receive your statement. ASIC sends the annual statement to us. We check the address, director, shareholder and share details against your records.
- Solvency resolution. We prepare the directors' solvency resolution and send it to you to e-sign. No printing, no scanning.
- Fee reminder and changes. We remind you to pay the ASIC fee before the due date, and lodge any changes the review turns up.
- Filed and diarised. We file the signed records and set up next year's review.
What we stop from happening
- Missed annual statements. ASIC mail goes to an old address or an inbox nobody reads. With us as agent it comes to our team.
- Late fees. ASIC adds a late fee once the review fee is overdue, and a bigger one after that. We remind you well before the due date.
- Solvency resolution forgotten. Directors must pass it within two months of the review date. We prepare it and send it to you to sign.
- Records out of date. A director who left or a share transfer never lodged leaves ASIC's register wrong. We pick it up at review time.
Questions we get asked
Do we need an annual review if nothing has changed?
Yes. Every company has an annual review date. The details must be confirmed, the fee paid and the solvency resolution passed each year, changes or not.
What happens if the review is late?
ASIC charges late fees, and continued non-compliance can lead to ASIC taking action against the company. We keep the dates in front of you so it does not get that far.
Can you act as our ASIC registered agent?
Yes. Once you sign the appointment form, ASIC correspondence for your company comes to us, and we look after the annual review cycle with you.
Do changes during the year cost extra?
Yes, changes are charged per item. ASIC must be told within 28 days of most changes, so let us know as soon as something changes.
