FAQ Section:

• Q: Do I need to register a business name if I operate under my name?
• A: No, if you're operating as a sole trader under your name (e.g., John Smith), you don't need to register a business name. However, registration is required if you use a different name (e.g., John Smith Plumbing).
• Q: Can I change my business name after it's registered?
• A: No, you cannot change a registered business name. If you wish to use a new name, you must register it with ASIC and update your business records accordingly.
• Q: What happens if I don't renew my business name registration?
• A: If you don't renew your business name registration by the due date, it will be deregistered, and you will lose the legal right to use it. You may need to reapply and risk someone else registering it.
