An Australian Credit Licence shouldn't mean months of lengthy, complex paperwork before you can lend

For small, independently owned Australian Credit Licence holders who run their own compliance program — and currently pay a consultant thousands, or spend weeks piecing together policies themselves, to stay ahead of ASIC's deadlines.

What people are putting up with today

  • Every Australian Credit Licence holder must maintain a full set of ASIC-ready policies — breach reporting, responsible manager, conflicts of interest, risk management, complaints handling, document retention — before they can safely operate.

  • A reportable situation gives a licensee just 30 calendar days to notify ASIC once they have reasonable grounds to believe one has arisen, with no margin for 'we'll get to it later'.

  • Licensees expect getting licensed and staying compliant to be a lengthy, complex process — that's exactly why a market of consultants selling ready-made policy bundles already exists.

How Licenceward works

Licenceward is a self-serve compliance pack for Australian Credit Licence holders: answer a short questionnaire about your licence type and it assembles the matching set of ASIC-ready policy documents immediately, then keeps a running calendar for your annual compliance certificate, industry funding levy return and every reportable-situations deadline — something the one-off document sellers stop doing the moment they hand over the files.

  1. 01

    Tell Licenceward your licence type and business model — credit provider, credit assistance, or debt manager — in a short guided questionnaire.

  2. 02

    Get the matching set of ASIC-ready policy documents (breach reporting, responsible manager, conflicts of interest, risk management, complaints handling, document retention) ready to review and sign.

  3. 03

    Licenceward keeps tracking your annual compliance certificate, industry funding levy return, and the 30-day clock on any reportable situation, so nothing is missed after the documents are delivered.
