New Business Names Registration Service


IP Australia announced that States, Territories and the Australian Government are going to introduce a new National Business Names Registration Service.

The new Registration Service will replace the current state/territory services, so that businesses only need to register their name with a single register nationally. The new service will be expected on May 28, 2012.

The new service will be managed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
