Details
On 28 May 2012 ASIC took over the registration of business names from the states and territories.
This launched the National Business Names system, replacing the existing state-based system. Business Names registered after 28 May 2012 will be registered nationally. Businesses that operate in multiple states will no longer have to maintain business name registrations in multiple states.
If on 28 May 2012, your business name was registered in a state or territory, you will not have to register it again. Your business name will be automatically transferred to the Business Names Register. The period of registration will also be transferred.
If you wish to register a Business Name after 28 May 2012, you must lodge the new National Business Name application form to ASIC.
One of the major changes as a result of the National Business Names system is the requirement of an Australian Business Number. From 28 May 2012, every Business Name registration must be linked to an ABN. The ABN replaces the old state-based business name registration numbers.
ASIC Forms such as the 201, 205A, 410 and 410B have all been modified to include the ABN. If the Business Name registration does not have an ABN, the state registration number will still be accepted.
