Companies Office Name Reservation
The Companies Office registers information about corporations
and business names. You can search the Registry to obtain information
on, for example, who is doing business under a trade name, where
the business is located, who are its partners or directors.
When you want to incorporate or register a trade name, the proposed
name is compared to existing ones already on record. If there
does not appear to be a conflict, Companies Office will incorporate
the company or register the new business name.
You can now file your Name Reservation online by selecting the
Online
Name Reservation link.
Companies Office System:
The Companies Office System will help you:
- Determine whether a name is already in use, or reserved for
use.
- Determine whether a corporation is in default of filing any
of its Annual Returns, or whether it has been sent a notice
of possible dissolution for such default;
- Access listings of the directors and/or proprietors of a company.
- Determine the Registered Office and the Attorney-for-Service.
- Determine the status of a company - e.g. whether it is active
or dissolved.
- Identify the age of a company.
- Determine previous names under which the company was registered.
The Companies Office System contains information provided by
companies under The
Corporations Act, and the The
Business Names Registration Act.
