Becoming your own licensee is a liberating experience for financial advisors. It ensures 100% alignment between you and your client, without having to meet the business impositions of a third-party licensee.
You control the service you want to offer and use the products and strategies you believe are best suited to deliver that.
Getting your own Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) or Credit Licence can be confusing and complex. Plus it is time consuming and littered with potential pitfalls.
My Dealer Services has been in business for over a decade and helped over 350 businesses nationwide get licensed.
We will guide you through the whole process. From the initial planning, to liaising with ASIC on your behalf and then converting your clients across to your new licence.
Excellent (licensing experience). Alex told me exactly what to expect. He completed within the estimated timeframes and gave me the heads up all the way through. Very smooth, very happy.

guidance makes process painless
“Advisers who are using the bank dealer groups are told that getting your own licence is too hard. However, we got our own licence using MDS. Time-wise it was a long but painless process. Alex stepped us through everything.Having your own licence is certainly not as difficult as the bank dealer groups tell you.”
