We won’t just help you get your AFSL, we’ll also ensure you keep it

When it comes to your AFS license, there is more than one organisation you can get it from.

So why go with Centrepoint Alliance?

Centrepoint Alliance won’t just take the entire process of applying for the AFS license off your hands, we will also provide you with one of the country’s most comprehensive compliance programs that will ensure you are always up-to-date with regulations and are working within the framework they prescribe.

Our AFS application programs has four key aspects to it

1. An Introductory education program

ASIC stipulates that as a financial planner, or advisor, you must have an  Australian Financial Services (AFSL) to conduct a Financial Services Business in Australia.

Financial Advisers and planners need to have their license, or be a representative of a licensee, on the very FIRST day they commence 'Financial Services' operations in the country. You can read more on this on the ASIC site.

Given we’ve been part of the 'financial planning industry' for more than 25 years, Centrepoint Alliance understands the process of applying for an AFS license very well.

Our team of experts have simplified what many find to be an ‘exhaustive’ process, to just 8 key questions. These questions, simplify the process of applying for an AFSL and make lodgement from your side, a whole lot easier. It is a process, proprietary and exclusive, to members of our network.

2. A proprietary technology platform plus service that simplifies operations

The regulations that govern the financial services industry are complex and ever-changing.

They can easily take a financial planner, or financial adviser’s focus away from where it should be - their clients.

Members of our network receive exclusive access to the XPLAN  CRM platform, which we’ve customised for our network.  

By ensuring smooth operations, our network of financial planners and advisers always have the time they need to review our regulatory updates, attend the seminars and events we hold on the issue and keep their business and clients ahead as a result.

3. Ongoing service, compliance education and support

ASIC’s regulations require financial planners and financial advisers to provide client advice that is of the highest standards.

This is generally best achieved when licensees are kept up-to-date on regulatory frameworks and advised of implications to their business as they occur.

At Centrepoint Alliance, our Professional Standards Team is charged with developing and delivering ongoing education programmes to our network to ensure they are always abreast of regulations, so they can abide by them.

4. ‘Industry-leading’ services including an exclusive professional indemnity insurance package developed jointly with Breeze Underwriting and Lloyd’s London

Services are what keep our business, and that of our financial advisory network, ahead.

Besides gaining access to leading-edge practice in the area of licensee operations, education, technology and community, our network also enjoys exclusive access to  

our ‘industry-leading’ professional indemnity product that caters exclusively to the needs of the ‘self-licensed’ broker community.

This product which was jointly developed by Breeze Underwriting, and Lloyd’s of London, gives our network greater control and security over their business operations also the future that rides alongside it.
