How to register a business name

• Sole Traders, Partnerships/Trusts
  if you choose to operate as a sole trader, partnership or a trust, and not as a company, then you will have to register your business name with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
• If your business name is your first name and surname, then you don’t need to register a business name
• You must have either an ABN or an ABN application reference number
  You will need to have an ABN or be in the process of applying for one through the Australian Business Register (ABR) website
• Registration of a business name does not in itself give you any exclusive rights to its use — only a trade mark can give you that kind of protection

• The business name holder’s name
• Date of birth and country
• Email address
• Residential address

The fees are:
$33 for one year, or
$76 for three years

You can choose to pay for your business name using a credit card, BPAY, or by requesting an invoice be sent to you.
