03 · Compliance & licensing
Registered, licensed and audit-ready.
We form the local entity, secure financial licensing and regulatory approvals, and run AML compliance for businesses building a regulated presence in Australia and New Zealand, including appointed responsible managers and directors where the law requires them.
What we do
Compliance and licensing
Licensing is where expansions stall. We incorporate the local entity, then handle the applications, the regulator correspondence and the ongoing obligations (AFSL and AUSTRAC in Australia, FSPR and FMA in New Zealand), and we put the named officers in place so your licence stands up from day one.
Why it works
Regulatory experience
For over ten years we have helped technology and fintech companies obtain and keep their licences in Australia and New Zealand.
Named officers in place
Responsible managers and appointed directors who meet the residency, experience and fit-and-proper requirements regulators ask for.
AML that holds up
AML/CTF programmes, KYC and transaction monitoring, plus the reporting obligations that come with them.
One point of contact
Applications, regulator correspondence and renewals coordinated in one place, with a local contact who answers.
Proactive problem-solvers
We prioritise finding potential issues before they escalate, rather than reacting once they have.
Local relationships
Established dealings with local counsel, auditors and specialist providers, backed by offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and Wellington.
“The Legati team has performed a tremendous job taking care of us over the years, and has represented us well in front of customers and government agencies alike.”
