    Hi all,

    I'm trying to find out the directors of a Pty Ltd company however i'm not having much luck. Are there any free tools that I can find out who is a director(s) of a company?

    I've tried ASIC Connect with no luck.

    Appreciate any tips.

    Thanks
    Al

    You can request a current company extract from ASIC. Will cost $9.

    The extracts vary by authorised provider but are largely the same - Dun and Bradstreet are a provider that offer a good service.
    - Brief Extract (Current info) is cheapest...$9 approx
    - Full extra shows all changes to that entity since day dot...I think $18
    - Then you can go exotic and even do a search of a specific person eg one Director and find all entities, officer positions etc. Look for charges, past positions, and much much more. You can even get some limited credit info if its available (Thats where D&B are good)
