BUSINESS NAME REGISTRATION

​

Starting a business as a sole trader and registering a business name is the simplest form of business structure and is relatively inexpensive to set up. An individual, company, trust, joint venture, or partnership can register a business name.

​

If you are trading or intend to trade under a name other than your own personal name, then you must register a business name with ASIC. If you have a company and are trading under a name other than the company name, then you must register a business name. You can register more than one business name under your ABN if you have multiple businesses. 

​

Business Name Registration services provided:

• Checking availability of the business name and assist you to choose a name that is not identical to an existing name;

• Preparation and lodgment of the business name registration with ASIC;​

• Provide you with a copy of the registration form lodged with ASIC;

• Provide you the ASIC Record of Registration;

• ABN Registration (if applicable).

​

To apply for a business name, the business name holder must have an ABN (Australian Business Number). If you do not have an ABN we can apply for an ABN for you, an additional $110.00 fee will apply.

​

If you choose to appoint Qorporate Services as the ASIC Agent you will also receive the renewal services listed below under the business name renewal services section, renewal fees will apply every one or three years depending on your business name registration period. Many of the other providers do not offer renewal services and ongoing management of the ASIC compliance for your business name. We provide this service to ensure your business name details are always up to date so you remain compliant with ASIC and to assist you to avoid missing the renewal date as ASIC may cancel your business name.

​

Please feel welcome to contact us if you need assistance completing the registration form or if you have any queries.
