How to REGISTER your business name with ASIC

How to REGISTER A Business Name With ASIC  

 

You will need to sign up for an ASIC Connect login – https://asicconnect.asic.gov.au/ 

 

Navigate to the right hand side of the screen and select Register a business name link. 

On the page select Business name registration. 

 

Review and tick the checkboxes under Things to be aware of. 

 

On the next page, select the option that applies(e.g business name holder has an ABN and then enter the ABN). Hit NEXT.  

Review the ABR details that they they’re correct, and then put in the business name that you want to register.  

Hit CHECK NAME AVAILABILITY.

If it turns up green, that means the name is available. If there was an issue, similar businesses pop up and the page will prompt you to consider having another business name.   

 

Select the preferred registration period – 1 year registration for $37 or 3 year registration for 6 $88.

We recommend the 3-year registration as it is a value for money and you won’t have to renew business name too soon. 

 

The next page will ask you to put in your contact details: 

• Address for service of documents 
• Principal place of business/practice 
• Email 
• SMS (optional) 
  

Review and eligibility, hit the checkbox and select NEXT. 
Review the details of the request, and hit SUBMIT.  

 

Read through the declarations to make sure everything is correct and hit NEXT. 
Pay via credit card or later (where ASIC is going to issue an invoice and you have to pay by the due date listed).
You will then get an email from ASIC to confirm the registration, you may also print the transaction for your records.
