Online ABN registration for Australian businesses.

An Australian Business Number (ABN) is a unique identifying number given to Australian businesses. Each business receives their own 11-digit number, identifying them to the government and general public. The ABN is used for a variety of tax and business purposes throughout Australia and having it is essential to legitimise your business, acting as a unique identifier of your business on all documentation.

You can get an ABN through ABN Assist. We have a simple form for you to fill out, making the process quick and easy. Your application will be checked by our registered agents, ensuring that you have completed the form correctly. If any information needs to be corrected, we will be able to assist you, ensuring you get your ABN fast, without headaches.

An ABN is a necessary part of running a business. The ATO requires all Australian businesses to have an ABN before commencing operations.

Having an ABN will also ensure clients and customers will pay the full amount for your services. Without an ABN, other businesses must technically withhold 46.5% from any payment they make to you.

Obtaining an ABN will also allow you to register for a .com.au web address, and register your business name with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

After you have registered for an ABN and have been approved, you will receive notification of your ABN in an email, followed by an official letter sent via regular post.

If you have misplaced your ABN, you can search for it on ABN Lookup. Click here to find your ABN by searching for your name or your business name.

If you cannot find your ABN, you should contact the Australian Business Register. You also may have to reactivate an ABN when it was cancelled due to inactivity.

If your ABN has been cancelled, either voluntarily or not, you will need to reactivate it before you re-open your business. You are not allowed to use a cancelled ABN for your general business activities.

In order to reactivate your ABN, just fill our simple form.
