What is an AFSL and what is a financial advice dealer group? To offer advice on a financial product in Australia you require an AFSL or Australian financial services licence. In the financial advice space, some advisers have their own AFSL, while the majority are licensed by a broader group often known as a financial advice dealer group. The dealer group provides various services the adviser would rather outsource and operates compliance oversight for the advisers licensed to the group.

What an AFSL is along with its obligations.
