A business name is the name your business operates under. You need to register a business name if you conduct business under any name other than your own.
Before you will be able to register your business name there are some things to consider.
You must have an ABN before you can apply for a business name. How will your business name be structured? There are several options on who will be the proprietor, such as an individual, corporate or a trust. Therefore, the ABN registration will need to be in the name of the proprietor.
