Do I need an ABN before registering a business name?

Modified on Thu, 30 Oct at 4:45 PM

Yes - ASIC requires you to have an active ABN linked to the business name.


If you don’t have one yet, you can register your Sole Trader ABN first through our website (takes under 2 minutes) and get your business name registered at the same time.
