Frequently Asked Questions About AFSL for Hire
What is an Australian Financial Service Licence for hire and how does it work for an authorised representative?
An AFSL for hire allows your business to provide financial services and deal in financial products by operating as a CAR under an existing AFSL holder’s AFSL, instead of obtaining your own. This arrangement means you are authorised to carry on a financial services business under the supervision and licence of the AFSL holder. It provides a pathway to market for those who want to provide financial services without the full burden of holding their own AFSL.
Who can become an authorised representative under an Australian Financial Service Licence for hire arrangement for wholesale clients?
What are the compliance responsibilities for a business using Australian Financial Service Licence for hire?
How do I find a suitable Australian Financial Service Licence holder to hire their licence for my financial service?
Can Australian Financial Service Licence for hire arrangements help with faster market entry for funds management?
Yes, AFSL for hire arrangements can significantly accelerate market entry for funds management operations. Operating under an existing AFSL holder’s licence typically reduces the time and upfront costs associated with applying for and obtaining a new AFSL. This is particularly beneficial for boutique funds management seeking to commence business operations or for investment managers focused on raising capital quickly.
