Is an ABN the same as a business name?

Modified on Mon, 31 Mar at 5:25 PM

No, an ABN and a business name are different. 

An ABN identifies your business, while a business name is the name under which you trade. 

If you want to operate under a name different from your own legal name, you must register a business name separately with ASIC.
