What is a business name?
A business name is a name/title using which an entity (company/trust/partnership) or an individual as a sole trader conducts a business.
A company as such does not need a separate business name, it can trade under the company name. But if the company say “Television Pty Ltd” wants to trade as “The TV company” they will need to register the business name “The TV company” if available.
Similarly, if “Dr Get Well” as a sole trader wants to trade under his name, he can but if he wants to trade as “Get Well Clinic” he will need to register the business name “Get Well Clinic”.

A Guide on How to register a Business Name in Australia
In simple terms, a business name is any name under which an individual conducts a business. If you are not trading under your own name or do not fall within an exemption, you must register a business name in Australia.
As a company is a separate legal entity registered with ASIC in Australia. If a company wants to carry on business using its own name without legal terms like ‘pty’ or ‘ltd’ etc, it needs to register this name as its business name. The company may also choose to use a separate name altogether. That new name needs to be registered as well.
Factors to Keep in Mind before Choosing a Name
Before going for the long process of business name registration in Australia, you need to decide on a name. Don’t choose a random name. Your business name is the identity of the work you do. The business name you choose should –
- Represent the advantages you will provide against your competitors
- Support the image that you want to communicate to your customers
- Not have a different meaning in another language
- Not offend anyone in any way
- Easy to pronounce
- Easy to remember
- Is simple and easy to spell
- Descriptive – it should, to some extent, represent your identity to your customers
- Distinctly different from the business names of your competitors, so that there is no confusion
