QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Anyone can check a business name for free without an account. You only need an account when you want to manage your renewals, access your full registration history and other registration details.
Honcho Intelligence is the data layer behind every name search. It draws on 1 million Australian business registrations since 2008 to surface real-world insights alongside your availability results, things like how similar businesses have named themselves in your industry, what naming patterns tend to work in your state and how saturated your market already is. It runs automatically on every search at no extra cost, no account or subscription needed.
That's perfectly fine. You can register just an Australian business name without purchasing a domain name or business email. Honcho lets you choose only the services you need, with the option to add more later.
No. Pick and choose. The business name is the minimum to trade under a name that isn't your own; Domains are optional. Honcho runs one checkout for whatever you select and looks after ongoing renewals.
ASIC business names register in real time for most applicants. Domain names can be registered once the business name is completed or earlier if you request immediate domain registration.
Honcho is the only Australian service that checks ASIC business name availability and domain names and provides Honcho Intelligence in a single search. Honcho Intelligence delivers key insights about your business name, helping you choose a stronger and more distinctive brand before you register.
