So, you think you're ready to apply for your own AFSL. What
are the costs should you be prepared for?
Preparing
You can attempt to prepare and submit your own application for a
licence. However, the application will be delayed or refused if it
is incomplete. We have templates that we use to kick-start a
licence application, to keep things as efficient as possible.
Submitting
Professional fees to prepare or submit an application would vary
depending on the type of authorisations being applied for or the
complexities of the arrangements that may require legal advice in
order to determine. There are also
lodgement fees (with ASIC) for an AFSL application, and these
can vary significantly depending on whether you apply as an
individual or through a corporate structure.
