Register a business name.
A good business name helps you create a strong brand, and a unique, catchy name is easy for customers to remember. If you haven’t decided on a name, learn how to pick a good business name here.
You need to register a business name if it’s different to your own name.
Research your preferred business name to make sure your competitors don’t already have it, and also search the Australian Business Register to make sure your business name isn’t already in use.
Before you set your heart on a business name, research domain name availability to ensure you can secure a matching domain for your email addresses and future website. Puro Design can search the domain name registry for you to avoid any heartbreak!
Also, research social media handle availability to ensure you can secure matching social media handles for your business.
Once you have settled on a business name and you have your ABN, you can go ahead and register it with the Australian Government Business Registration Service.
