Company ASIC Changes

Running a company means keeping your ASIC records accurate and current – directors, registered office, shareholders, share structure and more all need to be updated with ASIC whenever they change. We help Melbourne businesses manage the full range of company ASIC changes, so you stay compliant and avoid the penalties and missed correspondence that come from outdated records.

Types of ASIC Changes We Manage

• Appointing or resigning directors and company secretaries
• Changing your registered office or principal place of business
• Issuing new shares or transferring existing shares
• Changing your company name
• Updating member and shareholder details
• Deregistering a company that’s no longer trading

Your Annual ASIC Review

Each year, ASIC issues an annual statement and review fee based on your company’s registration date. Beyond simply paying the fee, this is the point to confirm all your company details are still accurate – we help review your annual statement and make any necessary corrections at the same time.

Why Keeping ASIC Records Current Matters

ASIC sends important compliance correspondence to your company’s registered details. If these are out of date, you can miss notices, incur late fees, or in serious cases risk your company being deregistered for non-compliance. Staying on top of changes as they happen avoids these risks entirely.

Common Timing Requirements

Most changes need to be notified to ASIC within a set timeframe – generally 28 days from when the change occurs. We help you plan ahead for anticipated changes (like a new director joining or a planned office move) so the paperwork is ready to lodge promptly.

Working With Your Company Structure

Whether you’re a sole director company, a multi-shareholder business, or a company acting as a corporate trustee, we understand how changes need to be documented correctly for your specific structure, including any required member or director consents.
