Tips for choosing a company name in Australia

Got a question? Let us help.
Is the company name check in Australia mandatory?
Yes, conducting a company name check in Australia is an essential step before registration. Any similar name to an existing company is rejected, demanding an alternative name suggestion for further procedure.
Do I still need to register the name with ASIC?
Yes. The company name availability is just a procedure to verify the chosen business name. This does not mean the company is legally registered with the ASIC.
How many names can I check?
There is no strict limit to the number of company names you can check for while searching for the right one for your business. With Accountants Direct’s name checker tool, you can easily explore different options and verify their availability and credibility.
How do I know if my company name is available in Australia?
The Accountants Direct name checker tool compares your chosen name with records in the ASIC database. If the name already exists, the tool will indicate that the selected name is unavailable.
Can I reserve a company name before registering a company?
Yes, you can secure your desired name for a certain period of time with the ASIC before registration. This way, you can make sure your name is not utilized by another company.
How long does it take to check the availability of a company name?
With the name checker tool from Accountants Direct, you can search for your preferred company name and receive instant results. This quick process helps you identify available names without delays.
