ASIC allows you to reserve a company name for two months for a small fee.

By reserving a company name, you have exclusivity of that name for two months, however this does not allow you to trade using the reserved name.

Once the two month period has expired, ASIC will allow you to re-reserve the same name again for a further two months and an additional fee.

ASIC will not indefinitely reserve a name if it prevents other people from legitimately registering the name for use.

Company Name Reservation is suitable for;

Businesses that wish to change their existing company name at a future date; and

New businesses wanting to secure a new company name but are not yet ready to incorporate
