And once you got an ABN, you will be able to 

  • Register your business name
  • Identifying your business to other entities for things like ordering goods and services or sending invoices.
  • Claiming taxes such as goods and services tax (GST)

2) Giving a name to your business

It’s best to decide your business name before you start creating assets like your website URL, logo, or any other designs. And you have to be very careful while creating a logo or giving a name to your company because it shouldn’t match with any other company and if it does, then there is a possibility that other companies can make objections.

You can register your ABN and business name separately if you wish, but it’s easier to apply for both at the same time.

3 ) Register your domain name

This step can only be completed after you have secured your business name and ABN, as it’s only possible to get  .com.au address if you are a registered Australian business. And the domain name you pick should be related to your business in some way and make it easy for customers to find and recognize it.

Hopefully, after completing these formalities, you can start your business smoothly even apply for business investment Visas or business talent visas
