Stop finding out a client's ASIC annual review was missed after the late fee lands
Renewpost is a product in development for Independent ASIC Registered Agents and Company Secretarial Firms.
The problem
Independent ASIC Registered Agents and Company Secretarial Firms
For registered agents and company secretarial firms tracking dozens or hundreds of client companies' ASIC annual review dates, statements and solvency resolutions by hand instead of letting software watch the whole book.
- Every client company carries its own ASIC annual review date, annual statement and solvency resolution — and a client book of any size means tracking many of these at once, by hand.
- Miss one and the company wears a $102 fee if it's lodged up to a month late, or $428 if it's later than that, with repeated misses risking ASIC starting deregistration.
- Once a client book passes a few dozen companies, tracking every date by hand stops scaling — which is why thousands of firms already pay for software just to automate it.

Why now
What’s changed
- 01
Australia now has 3,796,752 registered companies, and over 387,000 new ones were added in 2025 alone — each with its own annual-review date someone has to start tracking. ASIC company registration statistics ↗
- 02
ASIC's late-lodgement fee for a company's annual review document is $102 if it's up to a month late, or $428 if it's later than that, from 1 July 2026 — raising the cost of missing a single client's date. ASIC late fee schedule
New company registrations are climbing every year

The product
Renewpost
Renewpost is a deadline-tracking layer built from the client list you already have. Upload your clients' ACNs once and Renewpost checks them against ASIC's public company data every week, flagging every annual review date, statement and solvency resolution coming due — so you don't have to switch your lodgement software just to stop missing a date.
- 01
Upload your client list — company name and ACN — in one file, no integration required.
- 02
Renewpost checks each ACN against ASIC's public company data every week and builds a deadline board for annual reviews, statements and solvency resolutions across your whole book.
- 03
Automated reminders go out to you and the client ahead of each date, so nothing depends on anyone remembering to check.

Competition
What they use today, and where it falls short
| Today’s option | Tracks the whole client book, not capped | No lodgement-switch required | One weekly view, not per-document | No code or integration needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated ASIC compliance and lodgement platformsPriced as an ongoing per-company subscription with a minimum purchase of 25 companies, and the deadline-tracking only comes bundled with switching the firm's whole lodgement workflow onto that platform. Published price around A$17 per company per year. | Yes | No | Partly | Yes |
| ASIC's free Company Alert ServiceCapped at 5 profiles of 25 companies each — 125 companies total — far below a typical agent's client book, and it's one email per document, not a single weekly view of the whole book. | No | Yes | No | Yes |
| Paid developer APIs for ASIC register dataBuilt for a developer to integrate into their own system, not a ready dashboard a non-technical agent can use on day one. | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Spreadsheets and calendar reminders kept by handRelies on someone adding, and acting on, every date for every client correctly — the exact gap thousands of firms already pay software to close. | Partly | Yes | Yes | No |
| RRenewpostworks from the client list an agent already has — no switching lodgement platforms, no 25-company minimum, no code — and turns ASIC's own public data into one weekly view of the whole book instead of a per-document trickle. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Business model
A flat per-company annual subscription
Priced well under the dominant per-company subscription (around A$17/company/year) and with no minimum purchase, so solo and small agents can start with just a handful of clients — working price, not yet validated.
A year of Renewpost for one client costs a fraction of a single late fee
Renewpost won't catch every date on its own, but the comparison shows how little it has to prevent to pay for itself. ASIC late fee schedule
