Product Overview

Our team comprises highly experienced accounting and compliance professionals with a wealth of knowledge, leveraging the latest software and systems to prepare and lodge the necessary documents for any change to your company details.

Change of Company Details - Whenever there is a change to your company details you are required by ASIC to submit those changes within 28 days of the change occurring, otherwise late fees will apply including $80 for up to one month late and $330 for over one month late.

Change of Company Details Include:

Change company addresses
Change of name (officeholders or members)
Appoint or cease company officeholders
Issue of shares
Cancellation of shares
Transfer of shares

Details of every company registered in Australia are kept on ASIC’s corporate register. Corporations Law requires registered companies to keep and maintain appropriate statutory records in relation to directors, shareholders and other matters. In addition to the ongoing maintenance requirements, each company has an obligation to review the company statement issued by ASIC each year to ensure that the database of ASIC matches the office holder and shareholder ownership of the company.

ASIC Lodgements

We can also prepare and lodge all ASIC forms required, including but not limited to:

Change of company addresses
Appointment and cessation of company officeholders
Adding or removing ultimate holding company
Changing share structure
Appointing or ceasing members
Changes to officeholder details
Company resolutions e.g. change of company name

Full Benefits

Unlocking organisational efficiencies
Outsourcing of corporate registry maintenance is an important business decision as it directly impacts on the service you provide to your end clients and the allocation of resources within your business. The benefits of oursourcing are numerous, and include:

You are able to focus on your organisation's core activities;
You will be employing our expertise at extremely cost effective rates;
Profitability will improve for your organisation as you will be able to redeploy your human resources to your core business activities;
You can ensure compliance continuity during your periods of staff change;

ASIC late fees and penalties
Did you know that The Corporations Act 2001 requires companies to tell ASIC of changes to details generally within 28 days after the change has occurred? In fact ASIC imposes strict lodgement criteria and imposes heavy fines to ensure the integrity of its database. The penalty for late lodgement begins at $80, with failure to lodge documents with the Commission upwards of $1,000 or even 3 months imprisonment. Outsourcing to ABN Australia significantly reduces the chance of incurring such penalty fees, saving you money whilst ensuring you remain on good terms with your end client.

From the Knowledge Base

What is the ASIC Annual Statement?

What do i need to do with my Annual Statement?

What is the Annual Solvency Resolution?

Company directors must pass and store a solvency resolution within two months of the annual review date, unless you have lodged a financial report with ASIC in the past 12 months. A solvency resolution is made by the directors of a company that, in their opinion, the company can or cannot pay back its debts when they are due. The directors must have a reasonable basis for their opinion and the resolution must be passed by a majority.

What if there are changes to my company details?

Check the details on your annual statement carefully. If any details are incorrect, you can change your company details by lodging a Change to company details (Form 484) with ASIC. This includes changes to your addresses, share structure, officeholders and members. You will need your corporate key to make changes online. You can find your corporate key on your most recent annual statement.

You must lodge changes with ASIC within 28 days of the annual statement issue date, or a further late fee will apply. While you only receive one annual statement each year, changes to your company details must be lodged as they occur, to avoid a late lodgement fee. A company may be charged both a late lodgement fee and a late review fee.

What changes to the Company do I need notify ASIC about?

Either a director of the Company or the secretary of the Company must notify ASIC (by lodging an ASIC form 484) if any of the following occurs:

Change of a company's registered office or principal place of business address;
Change of name of officeholder or proprietary company members;
Change of ultimate holding company details;
Cease an officeholder;
Appoint an officeholder;
Change to special purpose company status;
Issue of shares;
Cancellation of shares;
Transfer of shares; or
Changes to amounts paid on shares.

Charge on company property (for example to secure a loan) must be notified to ASIC within 45 days from the creation of the charge.
Change of company name must be notified to ASIC within 14 days after the resolution was passed.
Division or conversion of shares must be notified to ASIC within 14 days from the date of change.
Reduction in share capital must be notified to ASIC before the notice of meeting for the reduction in share capital (at least 22 days before the members' meeting).

Share buy back must be notified to ASIC:

If buy back is conditional on a resolution being passed, then a form 281 must be lodged at least 14 days before the resolution is passed.
If buy back is not conditional on a resolution being passed and a Form 281 is required, then a form 281 must be lodged at least 14 days before agreement is entered into.
