Quick actions
Gofaizen & Sherle coordinates checks and transfer work for a proposed acquisition. A virtual asset service provider (VASP) provides services such as exchanging or holding virtual assets for customers.
Consider an acquisition for an exchange, over-the-counter trading desk or financial group.
Check how your operations connect to Australia and the countries you will serve. A Pty Ltd needs at least one shareholder and one director who ordinarily lives in Australia. A Pty Ltd is an Australian private company with limited liability. Shareholders are generally responsible for company debts only up to any unpaid amount on their shares.
Map what customers will actually do through your business.
The item numbers below refer to entries in Table 1 of section 6 of Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) Act 2006. Each entry defines a type of regulated service, as explained in AUSTRAC’s guidance.
Use these definitions to identify which activities need assessment. They do not confirm a target company’s permissions.
| Procedure | When It Applies | What to Check |
| AUSTRAC enrollment and VASP registration | Regulated virtual asset services with the required Australian connection | Check both processes, conditions and services. Registration approval is normally required before services begin |
| Australian financial services license (AFSL) from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), or an applicable authorized representative arrangement | Financial products or services under existing rules | Check the product, permissions, customer categories and exceptions. AUSTRAC registration does not replace this assessment |
| Separate AUSTRAC remittance registration | Regulated money transfer services | Check enrollment and remittance registration requirements. VASP status does not automatically cover remittance |
| Work and Deliverables | Who Does What | Price and Inclusions |
| Company due diligence using registration records, seller documents and findings from advisers. | The seller provides records. Gofaizen & Sherle coordinates the review. | Availability and company price are on request. Findings inform the decision to proceed. |
| Share-transfer documents, corporate changes and filing confirmations. | Buyer, seller and company act with Gofaizen & Sherle and relevant local counsel. | Legal work and filing assistance are specified in the quote. |
| Adapt AML/CTF policies and prepare banking application documents. | Gofaizen & Sherle coordinates preparation. The buyer implements controls. Regulators and banks decide applications. | Confirm which professional fees, third-party charges, taxes and recurring costs the quote covers. |

Documentation
Implementation support
You provide information about the buyer and planned business.
This includes identity documents, beneficial owner details, the source of the purchase funds, key personnel, planned services and target countries. Gofaizen & Sherle reviews this information to assess whether the proposed company fits your plans.
The seller provides the company’s records.
These include its Australian Company Number (ACN), corporate extracts, AUSTRAC registration conditions, renewal details, trading records and liabilities. Gofaizen & Sherle coordinates the review and identifies missing information for the seller to clarify before you commit.
You and the seller agree on the purchase terms.
Gofaizen & Sherle coordinates the share-transfer documentation with relevant local counsel. You, the seller and the company sign the documents applicable to your respective roles, subject to the review findings and any required permissions.
The company reports the required changes.
Gofaizen & Sherle coordinates filing assistance within the agreed scope. The company or its authorized agent reports relevant changes to AUSTRAC within 14 days. The company notifies ASIC of share transfers or changes to shares’ beneficial ownership status within 28 days through Form 484. These notifications do not constitute regulatory approval.
You prepare the company for your planned operations.
You are responsible for implementing appropriate controls and aligning the AML/CTF program with the assessed services. Gofaizen & Sherle coordinates the agreed preparation work. Any outstanding permission or banking questions must be resolved with the relevant regulator or bank before you rely on those permissions or accounts.
The bank assesses the buyer, owners, funding and proposed business independently. Check whether existing account terms permit continued use after ownership changes.
An electronic money institution or payment service provider is not equivalent to an Australian bank.
Ask your tax adviser to review accounts, tax returns, Australian Taxation Office correspondence, debts and potential liabilities before the share purchase. Confirm the transaction’s goods and services tax (GST) treatment individually. Neither dormant status nor a seller’s assurance establishes a clean tax history.
| Option | What You Need to Assess | Timing |
| Buy shares in an existing Pty Ltd | Records, conditions, owner suitability, liabilities and any extra permissions. | No fixed acquisition period. Documents, negotiations and external reviews determine completion. |
| Incorporate and apply for registration | Business model, governance, AML/CTF program and applications. | AUSTRAC may assess a complete new application for up to 90 days. A request for further information restarts the period when that information arrives. The assessment period excludes preparation and banking. |
Existing registrations continue through the reforms. This does not establish approval of an ownership change.
AUSTRAC administers the AML/CTF Act 2006. Its registration concerns financial crime controls. Existing financial product licensing duties continue while future reforms are implemented.
| Event and Authority | Status and Effect |
| 31 March 2026 / AUSTRAC | Legacy DCE registrations became VASP registrations. New requirements for exchanges between money and virtual assets took effect |
| 1 July 2026 / AUSTRAC | Deferred duties for new VASP services took effect, including applicable Travel Rule requirements to pass information with transfers. The 29 July application window has closed |
| 8 April 2027 / Digital Assets Framework Act / ASIC | Rules for digital asset platforms and tokenized custody platforms will take effect. A six-month transition applies subject to statutory conditions. Timely license or variation applicants may continue under those provisions until after ASIC’s decision |
Management
Before providing regulated services, assess and document the company’s money laundering and terrorism financing risks. Establish AML/CTF policies that explain how the company will manage those risks. Obtain senior management approval and appoint a fit and proper compliance officer at management level with sufficient authority and resources. The officer must reside in Australia when services operate through an Australian permanent establishment.
Operations
Carry out customer checks (customer due diligence, or CDD), monitor relationships, report suspicious matters and keep each type of record for the required period. Cash transaction reports, international transfer reports and the Travel Rule apply where their respective requirements are triggered.
Transition
Eligible entities enrolled on 30 March 2026 may phase in the new initial CDD rules by 31 March 2029 under qualifying transition policies. Ongoing CDD already applies.
Status
Monitor conditions and three-year renewal. AUSTRAC can impose conditions, suspend or cancel registration. Independent evaluation requirements apply. An annual audit is not universally required.
Match the legal name and ACN to the AUSTRAC registration record.
Ask the seller for the latest registration correspondence, renewal date and any conditions. Reconcile these with corporate extracts and the services you intend to provide. A register entry confirms recorded status. It does not establish that every planned activity is permitted or that all historical obligations were met.
Yes. A dormant company still needs corporate, regulatory and financial checks.
Ask the seller to substantiate the claimed trading history with accounts, bank statements and company records. Review past filings, AML/CTF arrangements, tax correspondence and outstanding or potential liabilities. Little or no trading does not establish that a company has no debts or unresolved compliance issues.
Potentially, after checking the requirements for each proposed activity before starting it.
Map the additional services to legal definitions and the company’s registration conditions. Determine which AUSTRAC updates or applications are needed and whether financial product licensing or remittance registration applies. Buying shares does not grant permission to expand into every virtual asset service or customer market.
You need another banking solution before relying on that account for operations.
Review any reasons the bank provides and discuss whether further documents or another provider would address them. Each provider assesses the owners, funding and business model independently. A completed share purchase does not override a refusal, and banking assistance cannot assure a replacement account.
