About the group

A small Australian group, built to hold things properly.

Oatcor Group Pty Ltd is a privately held proprietary company registered in Victoria. It exists to keep the structural, statutory and administrative side of a business in order so the people running it can concentrate on trading.

Who we are

The group, in plain terms.

Oatcor Group Pty Ltd was established as an Australian proprietary company under the Corporations Act 2001. It operates from Victoria and works with owner-led businesses across Melbourne's south-east and the wider state.

The work sits in three connected areas: the entities a business is held through, the statutory record those entities must keep, and the commercial decisions the owners have to make about both. Handled separately, those three drift apart — the structure stops matching the intention, the register stops matching the structure, and nobody notices until a bank, a buyer or a regulator asks.

Keeping them under one roof is the whole point of the group. It means a change of shareholding is reflected in the register the same week, not the following July, and that advice about a restructure is given by someone who already knows what the current structure actually is.

We are deliberately a small operation. That sets a limit on how much work we take on at once, and we would rather say that plainly than take an engagement we cannot service properly.

How we work

Four commitments we can actually keep.

These are operating rules rather than values statements. Each one describes something we do or refuse to do, and you can hold us to all four.

  • The scope is written down first

    Every engagement starts with a written scope and a fee. If what you need turns out to be broader than what we quoted, we come back with a revised scope before doing the extra work — not with a larger invoice afterwards.

  • Records are kept as we go

    Registers, minutes and resolutions are updated when the event happens. Reconstructing a year of corporate history in the week before a sale is expensive, and the result is never as good as a record kept contemporaneously.

  • You deal with the person doing the work

    There is no account layer between you and the file. The person who takes your brief is the person who prepares the documents and answers the follow-up question three months later.

  • We stay inside our own remit

    We are not a registered tax agent, a law firm or an auditor, and we do not hold an Australian financial services licence. Where a matter needs one, we say so and work alongside your existing adviser rather than around them.

Who we work with

Businesses at the point where the structure stops fitting.

The common thread is a business that has outgrown the arrangement it was set up with, and a director who wants that sorted before it becomes a problem in a transaction.

Owner-led trading companies

Established businesses where one or two directors hold the shares and every structural decision lands back on them.

Family and holding entities

Groups holding property, equipment or shares through more than one entity, where the paperwork has fallen behind the intention.

Businesses preparing for a change

A sale, a succession, an incoming shareholder or a bank facility — anything that puts the corporate record in front of someone else.
