Minerva Corporate

What Minerva Corporate does

Minerva Corporate Pty Ltd (ABN 46 162 518 372) is a privately held, Perth-based professional services firm founded in 2013 that provides corporate secretarial, accounting, regulatory compliance, and corporate advisory services to companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and the National Stock Exchange of Australia (NSX). The firm operates with a small team of approximately 1-10 professionals, anchored by Managing Director Nicholas Ong (a former ASX Principal Adviser who oversaw the admission of 100+ companies to the ASX), Director and CFO Benjamin Bussell (Senior Accountant, 18+ years), Commercial Director Daniel Smith (Governance Institute Fellow, 16 years of capital markets experience), Finance Director Nick Bishop (ACCA Fellow, ATIA member), and junior accountant Lian Wenting. Minerva's value proposition is built on the directors' deep relationships with ASX/ASIC processes and on the firm's capacity to act as an outsourced company secretary, CFO, and compliance manager for resource-sector-heavy, small-cap listed entities.

The firm delivers four integrated service lines: Compliance Services (handling of director and shareholder meetings, ASX/ASIC liaison, announcement drafting, ASX waiver applications, and periodic regulatory reporting); Accounting Services (ASX quarterly cash flow reports, statutory half-year and annual IFRS/AASB financial reports, management accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, tax, and tenement management); Corporate Advisory Services (M&A implementation and IPO/RTO structuring advice, with access to a global network of contacts and listed shell companies); and Nominated Adviser (NOMAD) Services for the NSX, a registered regulatory role that enables the firm to formally advise NSX-listed issuers. The firm is also an Australian Financial Services Licensee (AFSL). The operating model is consultative enterprise sales targeting boards, CFOs, and company secretaries of listed entities, with clients drawn disproportionately from natural resources, mining, and oil and gas, alongside selected technology, sustainability, and lifestyle companies. Notable mandates include serving as corporate adviser to CoAssets Limited's dual ASX/NSX IPO and as compliance manager for XTD Limited's reverse takeover of White Eagle Resources.

Revenue is generated through two primary models: recurring/annual retainers for ongoing corporate secretarial, accounting, and NOMAD services, and project-based professional services fees for IPO, RTO, and M&A mandates. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. Marketing channels are dominated by director-led professional network referrals and direct outreach to listed-company boards, with no broad demand-generation apparatus. The firm supports a Chinese-language website and bilingual staff to engage Asia-Pacific capital, and operates from a single headquarters at 8 St Georges Terrace, Perth. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, indicating an owner-operated boutique with material concentration of institutional knowledge in its four senior directors.

Direct peers

• Acuity Capital: Australian corporate advisory and investment firm targeting ASX-listed small caps, with comparable NOMAD-adjacent and corporate services capabilities to NSX/ASX issuers.
• Boardroom Limited: ASX-listed provider of corporate secretarial, accounting, payroll and corporate advisory services to listed companies. Most directly comparable Australian competitor in the listed-company compliance and corporate-services space.
• Link Market Services: Leading Australian share-registry and investor-services provider serving many of the same ASX-listed clients. Adjacent in listed-company services, particularly around shareholder meetings, registry and disclosure work.
• Automic Group: Australian provider of share registry, employee scheme administration, corporate secretarial and accounting services to ASX-listed issuers. Overlaps with Minerva across compliance, governance and listed-company back-office services.
• Henslow: Australian independent corporate advisory firm focused on ASX small- and mid-cap M&A, capital raisings and IPOs. Comparable to Minerva's corporate advisory and IPO/RTO mandates for resource and growth-sector clients.
• CPS Capital Group: Perth-based corporate advisory and capital-markets firm focused on small-cap ASX resource listings. Strongly comparable to Minerva's Perth-centric, resources-oriented advisory and IPO pipeline.
• PAC Partners: Melbourne-based corporate advisory and stockbroking firm with a strong small-cap resources franchise. Comparable in serving ASX-listed junior miners and running IPO/RTO mandates.

Broad incumbents

• Computershare: Global incumbent in share registry, employee equity plans and corporate governance services. Comparable at the listed-company services layer, but serves a much broader and larger client base than Minerva's small-cap focus.
• Canaccord Genuity (Australia): Global investment bank with an Australian equity capital markets and corporate advisory franchise. Competes with Minerva for ASX IPO and secondary-raising mandates, though at a larger scale and broader sector coverage.
• Bell Potter Securities: Australian full-service stockbroker and corporate adviser with an active small-cap IPO and capital-raisings desk. Overlaps with Minerva in resource-sector IPO advisory and ongoing listed-company coverage.
