What we can do this week

Cover the immediate gap

For most firms, the urgent question is whether the next four weeks of deadlines get hit. These four moves usually answer that.

Take over your registered agent role temporarily

Each client company signs a one-page Form 362, which we lodge with ASIC so we pick up the registered agent obligation.

Audit lodgements due in the next 60 days

We pull every entity from the ASIC register and surface every annual review, change notice, and deadline that is approaching.

File any urgent change notices

Director changes, address changes, share allotments. Anything inside its 28-day window we lodge while we onboard.

Manage current annual reviews in flight

Reviews due during the transition are not let slip. We coordinate with your previous person's system if needed and lodge cleanly.

What we can do this month

Decide whether you bridge or hand it off properly

The first month is when most firms decide whether they want to recruit a replacement or use this moment to rethink the function entirely.

Full handover of your client book

Every entity migrated, every share register reconciled, every standing instruction documented.

Branded compliance calendar live

You see one master view of every deadline across your book. Reminders go to the people you nominate.

Take over the function permanently, or just bridge

Your call. Some firms hire a replacement and we bridge for 90 days. Others realise outsourcing is the better answer and never go back.

Every deadline monitored from go-live

From the moment we hold registered agent status, every deadline we are responsible for sits on our compliance calendar and is actioned before it falls due.

Either decision is fine. We work with both.

Some firms hire a replacement and use CoSec to bridge for 90 days while the new person is recruited and onboarded. We hand off cleanly when they start, with a full handover pack.

Others realise during the bridge period that outsourcing is structurally better and never go back. About half of the firms that come to us in this position fall into that camp. Both decisions are fine; we will not push you either way.

Standard pricing applies. No panic pricing.

We do not charge a premium for fast onboarding. The pricing you would pay for a standard transition is the pricing you pay for an emergency one.

The transition audit is free. The data migration is free. The Form 362 lodgement is free. You only start paying the service fee once we are operational, and only on entities under engagement.
