What This Covers
The framework commenced on 3 January 2016. ACRA explains trading-name registration, eligible one- or three-year registration periods, cancellation and restoration, and common offences involving registered information.
How to Use This Guidance
Trading only under an individual’s own name has a specific exemption; adding a business name changes the analysis. Check the current entity guide for update deadlines and renewal procedures rather than treating registration as a one-time obligation.
