What is the relationship between CoSec Partners and ABN Australia?
CoSec Partners and ABN Australia are separate legal entities. They have common ownership and share some resources, but each firm is engaged separately for its own work.
ABN Australia specialises in helping foreign companies operating in Australia. It provides a broad range of business establishment, corporate and accounting services.
CoSec Partners, by contrast, primarily services domestic accounting and legal firms. It does their outsourced company secretarial and compliance work, such as company registration, deeds, ASIC compliance and registered agent services. Because it works behind the firm and not in competition with it, CoSec Partners is a natural partner for these firms.
If you are an accounting or legal firm, talk to CoSec Partners. If you are a foreign company doing business in Australia, talk to ABN Australia. Where a matter needs both, the two firms can work together.
Frequently asked questions
Are CoSec Partners and ABN Australia the same company?
No. They are separate legal entities. They have common ownership and share some resources, but each firm contracts in its own name and is engaged separately for its own work.
Which firm should I engage?
If you are an accounting or legal firm wanting outsourced company secretarial, ASIC compliance, registered agent, deed or resident director work, engage CoSec Partners. If you are a foreign company setting up or running a business in Australia, engage ABN Australia. Where a matter needs both, the two firms can work together, each engaged for its own part.
Why is CoSec Partners a separate firm?
Because outsourced secretarial and compliance work for professional firms is a different service, for a different client, from helping foreign companies establish and run an Australian business. A separate firm makes it clear to accounting and legal firms that the service is built for them. Both firms continue to operate.
