Reasons why we may initiate the cancellation of a business name
There are a number of reasons why we may initiate the cancellation of a business name.
Some of the common reasons include:
-
the business name holder does not renew their business name registration
-
the business name holder is a company that has been deregistered
-
we become aware of a matter after registration that would have affected our initial decision to register the business name
-
we become aware that the entity is disqualified from holding a business name
-
we are satisfied the entity is not carrying on a business under the business name (for example, the Australian Business Number (ABN) has been cancelled) and has not been carrying on a business for the last three months
-
the entity fails to notify us of a change in information within the required time, or
-
the entity fails to respond to an ASIC request for information.
