What is regulatory due diligence?

Regulatory Due Diligence is a professional review conducted before setting up operations in Australia to identify legal, tax, licensing, and compliance risks. It helps overseas businesses make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

Regulatory due diligence typically covers:

  • Business structure selection
  • FIRB approval requirements
  • Corporate and tax obligations
  • Industry-specific licences and local setup

Who needs regulatory due diligence?

It’s not just businesses that require undertaking regulatory due diligence. Here are some groups and entities that may need to undertake due diligence:

  • Foreign companies looking to expand to Australia (subsidiary or branch)
  • Investors planning to acquire or partner with Australian entities
  • Startups or listed companies expanding global presence
  • Chinese state-owned or private enterprises seeking FIRB clearance

Why is it important?

Due diligence is important in any business dealing. Here is why regulatory due diligence is important:

Avoid legal pitfalls

Choosing the wrong business structure may result in unexpected tax burdens or penalties. Understanding this process early can save you money later.

Meet compliance requirements

Australian regulators like ASIC, ATO, and FIRB have strict rules. Early planning ensures compliance and can help avoid financial penalties.

Improve project approval rates

A clean compliance record and sound setup increase your chances of approval, especially for large projects or joint ventures.

Save time and costs

Avoid rework, delays, and legal fees by getting it right the first time.
