Description

An ASIC-authorised Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) holder is available for full acquisition. The company is authorised to operate as a market maker across CFDs, foreign exchange contracts, and derivatives, servicing wholesale clients under the Australian Corporations Act 2001. Client Permissions Wholesale clients only. Transaction Structure This is a full entity acquisition — the buyer acquires the entire company and all assets, licences, regulatory permissions, and contractual relationships within it. There are no carve-outs. Responsible Managers Existing Responsible Manager arrangements are subject to the incoming buyer's requirements. Buyers may retain existing RMs or appoint their own, subject to ASIC's fit-and-proper assessment. Zitadelle Advisory Group can advise on RM transition planning as part of the transaction. Change-of-Control Process The standard ASIC change-of-control process applies. Once a Share Sale Agreement is executed, the regulatory process can typically be completed within one week — making this one of the fastest change-of-control timelines available among major regulated jurisdictions. KYC and Buyer Qualification Standard AML/KYC documentation is required from the buyer, broadly consistent with UK FCA and EU requirements. Zitadelle Advisory Group manages the documentation process on behalf of both parties. About the AFSL An Australian Financial Services Licence issued by ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) is the primary regulated status for financial product dealers and advisers in Australia. Australia is a Tier 1 regulated jurisdiction with global recognition and a stable, transparent regulatory environment. AFSL holders dealing in CFDs, FX, and derivatives with wholesale clients operate under a streamlined regime relative to retail authorisations, with reduced disclosure obligations and no product intervention restrictions currently applicable to wholesale-only entities.

  • Change of control typically completed within one week of SSA signing
  • Market making authorisation across CFDs, Forex and derivatives
  • Full entity acquisition — no carve-outs
