Register Business Names

Introduction

If you’re just starting out your business, it’s important to get your name registered. This is because having a registered business name allows you to do things like trading under that name in all Australian states and territories, set up bank accounts and register as an incorporated company (if you wish). If you already have a business name but want to change it for any reason, we can help with that too! Long story short though is, in this case, you just need to let your existing business name lapse, or cancel on its own, and register a new business name.

If you’re just starting out or expanding your business, it’s important to get your business name registered.

You need to register your business name before you start trading.
You can’t trade under a name that is already registered by another company or individual. This includes internet domain names as well as trade marks (e.g., logos). You can check trade marks here.
If someone else has the same or similar name for their business, then there could be confusion between the two companies and this could cause problems when it comes to marketing and promotion of products/services offered by both parties. For example: if there are two companies called “Blue Moon Cleaning Service” in one city then customers may get confused about which one they should use because there isn’t enough differentiation between them – therefore both would lose out on potential customers because people might think they’re associated with each other when really they aren’t!

We offer two types of legal entities that can register new business names with us:

Sole traders (individuals) – These are people who run their own businesses as sole traders and don’t have any partners or shareholders in the company. They are responsible for all debts incurred by their business during its registration period, which ends at midnight on the day before their first anniversary date.
Partnerships – Partnerships consist of two or more people who agree to share ownership and responsibility for running an enterprise together but who do not have any legal liability for each other’s actions outside of the partnership itself (they are “limited” in this sense). Partnerships must also include an ABN on their application form before we can process it further; if yours doesn’t already have one then we’ll help you apply for one through our online toolkit when submitting your documents online!

You can choose a name that is available. Don’t worry, we will let you know if it’s available once you start your application.

If the name is not available, our AI Business Name Generator will present you with alternate business names. You can also choose to register a business name that is similar to an existing one

For example, if you’re registering your own name, then you are the owner of the business and must give us all required information about yourself and your company. In contrast, if you have formed a partnership with other individuals who will be involved in running the new business (e.g., as partners), then each partner needs to provide their personal details as well as any information about their shareholding in this venture.

Either way, you will need an ABN first, to be able to register a new business name.
