A question that I often get asked is, do I need to register a business name, even
though I have an ABN?
When applying for an ABN, you do have the option to write down a business name.
However, depending on your business structure and situation, you may still need to check
if your preferred business name is available and then register it.
A trusted and memorable business name is a valuable business asset, and it’s important
to get good advice about protecting it.
The easiest way to find out if you need to register a business name is to contact the
Queensland Government’s Business Support Centre on 13 25 23.
