AFSL Business Description Template (Formerly A5) by Click Legal: Introduction and overview sections.

About this Document

Use this template if you:
  • Are applying for a new AFSL or varying an existing licence
  • Need to explain how you meet your licence obligations day to day
  • Want a structured way to talk about compliance personnel, systems & reporting
  • Prefer wording that aligns with ASIC guidance rather than starting from a blank page
It is suited to:
  • Wholesale & retail AFSL applicants across advice, dealing, platforms & funds
  • Existing licensees preparing variations or remediation materials
  • Compliance consultants & lawyers assisting AFSL applicants
What this template covers:
  • Overview of your compliance framework & how it supports AFSL obligations
  • Seniority, qualifications & independence of compliance management personnel
  • How compliance measures are embedded into business processes & procedures
  • Monitoring, reporting & escalation to management and the Board
  • High-level treatment of breach management and (where relevant) client money handling
  • A compliance obligations table you can adapt to your authorisations and risk profile
How it fits the current ASIC process: ASIC no longer requires a standalone “B3 Compliance Arrangements” document at lodgement, but the same information is now collected through the online portal and follow-up requests. This template follows the structure of the former B3 proof so you can prepare your compliance arrangements narrative once, then adapt it for portal responses and later requirements-stage questions.

You receive an editable Word document with placeholders for your company name, structure, roles & services, plus guidance notes to help you align it with your other AFSL proofs and compliance framework.

How To Use This Template

This template is a starting point, not a final document. It’s been drafted by Australian lawyers to be practical and flexible, but it still needs to be reviewed and tailored for your specific business, transaction and risk profile.

Before you use it, you should:

  • Complete all placeholders, bracketed items and optional fields;
  • Remove any drafting notes or clauses that aren’t relevant to your situation; and
  • Check that party names, entity details, dates, addresses, contact details and defined terms are accurate.

Make sure the template is consistent with your other documents and obligations – including any existing contracts, policies, procedures, website terms, privacy disclosures, regulatory requirements or internal governance documents. If anything conflicts, it should be resolved before you sign, issue, adopt or implement the document.

If you are using the template as an agreement, it should be reviewed and signed by all relevant parties in accordance with applicable law and your internal signing requirements. If you are using it as a policy, procedure, notice or compliance record, it should be approved and stored under your organisation’s normal document control processes.

This template is provided as general information only and is not legal advice. Complex, high‑value, highly regulated or cross‑border matters will usually require bespoke drafting. For anything outside a straightforward use case, we strongly recommend obtaining legal advice before relying on, signing or implementing this document.
