A business name is the name under which you operate a business. If you are running a business and you are not trading under your own personal name, you are legally required to register a business name.
You can start using your business name immediately after it has been registered and we recommend that you start using your name after receiving your certificate of registration that has been issued by ASIC, not too worry, we’ll send this to you immediately after it’s been processed.
Your name is immediately reserved once you complete our online business name application form which take about 10 minutes. It usually takes 2-5 business days for ASIC (Australian Government & Investments Commission) to review and approve your new name and issue your certificate of registration. We’ll get this over to you as soon as we receive it – now worries, no hassles.
Yes, ABN’s can have unlimited business names assigned under them. Register more than one if you have additional brands you’d like to trade under or even different products or services you would like to name and protect.
Yes, to register a business name, you will need to have an Australian Business Number (ABN), or be in the process of applying for one. Don’t have an ABN? No worries, we’ll get one registered for you during your business name application for an additional fee of $79.

To transfer a business name to a new ABN or entity, the fee for this is $379 and includes cancelling the current registration of the business name in the name of the owner; re-registering the business name in the name of the new owner; monitoring, managing and updating you on the status of the application; and one year business name registration. Note: if you prefer, you can save on registration fees by registering the business name for three years for $477. Transfer your business name here
Your business name will need to be renewed by the end of the registration term, either 1 or 3 years, depending on what registration period you initially registered it for. Don’t worry, we’ve got that covered and we’ll send you a notification 30 days before the due date so you can renew your name.

If the business name you wish to use is already registered and not available, you will need to put your thinking hat back on and come up with another name. Follow this link to discover other tips on how to name your business – https://namecorp.com.au/how-to-choose-the-right-business-name/

Yes, we’ll email your certificate direct to your inbox once received from ASIC, this usually takes 24-48 business hours from the initial registration date.
Registering a business name does not protect you against third party claims for trademark infringement. To ensure your proposed business name is protected you should have it trademarked. Our process is easy, accurate and the most affordable way to protect your trademark/business name in Australia. After you submit your trademark application, we’ll email you your receipt and confirmation of your trademark application. We’ll take care of everything from here and email you updates at each stage of the trademark process. Register your trademark here
You can either register your business name 1 year ($199) or 3 years ($297). Both packages come with additional features design to get your business started right. To view what’s included visit our pricing page here.
