Renew your business name today

Business name renewal is the process of keeping your registered business name active with ASIC so you can continue trading under it without interruption. Honcho helps you manage and renew your business name on time to ensure your registration remains current and compliant.

If you don’t renew your business name, ASIC will cancel your registration and you’ll no longer be legally allowed to trade or advertise under that name. Once cancelled, someone else could register the name. Honcho sends reminders and helps you renew on time so your business name stays active and protected.

The form takes just 5–10 minutes to complete. Once submitted, ASIC usually reviews and confirms it within 3–5 business days. Once approved, we’ll send you the updated business name certificate.

You need to renew your business name registration before the expiry date listed on the ASIC register. Business names can be registered for one or three years and the renewal must be completed before the registration expires to keep the name active. If you registered your business name through Honcho, we will notify you at least 30 days before the renewal date.

Yes. If a business name registration is cancelled and released by ASIC, the name may become available for another party to register. Renewing your registration before the expiry date helps ensure you keep the right to trade under that name.
