What is a Corporate Authorised Representative?

A Corporate Authorised Representative (CAR) is a business that is authorised to provide financial services on behalf of an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) holder. Instead of obtaining your own AFSL — which can take 6-12 months and significant investment — you can operate under our established licence.

This arrangement allows you to launch faster, reduce costs, and benefit from our compliance infrastructure and regulatory expertise. You focus on building your business while we handle the licensing and compliance framework.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our AFSL for hire services
