Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy an AFSL directly?

An AFSL cannot be bought directly; however, clients can purchase the entity that holds the AFSL. This means that while the license itself is not transferable, acquiring the company that possesses the license allows for the continuation of its operations.

What are the risks associated with buying an AFSL?

Potential risks of buying an AFSL include hidden liabilities and compliance issues, which AFSL House helps to mitigate through thorough due diligence. It’s essential to review the financial health and compliance history of the entity holding the AFSL to avoid unforeseen complications. Engaging legal and compliance experts can further safeguard against these risks.
