Change a business name |
The process you use to change your business name will depend on your reason for the change.
Because you´ve changed your mind
If you wish to change your registered business name or have changed your mind about your original business name, you must apply for a new name and cancel your original name.
As this is a new application, you must:
- register a new business name, which means completing the application form and providing certified proof of identity again
- complete section 9, ´Cancellation of current business name´, on the application form. We will not cancel your original business name until you register a new one
- pay the full registration fee (and you will not receive a refund for the fees you paid on your original application)
- lodge your application.
See how to register a business name.
Because you made a spelling error on your application
To fix a spelling error on your registered business name, you must send a letter to our Registration Services branch telling us the error in the original application and how you would like it fixed.
Remember to:
- include your business name registration number
- state that you have not used the incorrectly spelt name in any way
- mention the error in the original application and how we should correct it
- sign the letter (only one original applicant needs to sign).
Note: If you have already started trading under the misspelt name, you cannot apply to have it corrected. You must apply for registration of the correct business name.
