Transfer your business name today

If you need to transfer a business name, it is important to understand that the process is regulated by ASIC and must be completed in the correct order. It is not a simple edit or handover and mistakes can lead to delays, failed transfers or even losing the right to the business name.

As registered ASIC agents, we provide structured support to help you transfer a business name in line with ASIC requirements. Our team manages the process carefully to remove uncertainty, protect ownership continuity and ensure the transfer is completed correctly the first time.

To transfer a business name, the existing registration must still be active when a transfer request is lodged with ASIC. Once the request is submitted, ASIC issues a transfer number that the new owner uses to register the business name under their entity. ASIC will then cancel the existing registration within 28 days.

Because the process involves specific timing and registration requirements, it must be handled carefully to avoid delays, rejected applications or the risk of the business name becoming available to others.

Honcho can manage the entire business name transfer process on your behalf, ensuring the transfer request and re-registration are completed correctly and in line with ASIC requirements.

Transferring a business name with ASIC requires the correct process and accurate details from both the current and new owner. Handling the transfer properly helps ensure the name remains active and continues to be used without interruption.

Honcho makes business name transfers simple with a guided process managed by a Registered ASIC Agent. Our team helps prepare and lodge the transfer correctly so ownership is updated smoothly and your business can continue trading under the name.
