Over 3500 companies outsource their ASIC compliance and corporate secretarial needs to Corporate Express. Our outsourcing and company changes services are available for one or as many companies as you manage. Our current outsourcing clients include small businesses and small to large accounting and legal practices.

What is outsourcing?

When a client chooses Corporate Express to become its outsourcing agent Corporate Express becomes the ASIC Registered Agent for the relevant company(s). This is done at no cost to you and we do not require any up-front fees.

As the company's agent, Corporate Express:

• receives all correspondence from ASIC relating to the company(s);
• sends reminders to you for fees due or any late fees that need your attention;
• is able to download an ASIC search and debt reports for the company(s) at no cost;
• prepares the company's ASIC Annual Review Company Statement and directors solvency resolution and sends them to you in advance of the review date;
• lodges all ASIC payments for each company so that you have proof of receipt of payment at ASIC.

Annual Reviews

Every company must pay to ASIC an Annual Review fee. Corporate Express has a dedicated programme to track the annual review fees due for each company it is agent for. Regular reminders are sent to you via email when these fees are due. If the fees are not paid on time we then keep track of the late fees payable. Our fee for this service (which includes all statutory requirements) is $55 per company.

Company Changes

Corporate Express can prepare all necessary ASIC forms, company minutes and updated company registers for any changes that need to be made to a company. These documents are sent to you for signature to enable lodgement and are stored in our database. Most lodgements are made electronically through our interface programme with the ASIC register. There are only a few forms that ASIC will not permit to be lodged electronically. These forms are lodged by us over the counter at ASIC on a daily basis.
