Need a Business Name

[Sammiejane]

Why dont you just register a business under just your name, and then when it takes off or you have made your fina decision register a trading name.

My business is just my name... Didnt cost me anything this way as i just applied for an ABN under my name and then i automaticaly was registered as a business and a tranding name...
if it gets bigger then i have a new trading name and actually pay the fee then

Your website can have any name as long as when you invoice you also include your name and the ABN as well as what the website is called

HTH

Thanks Sammie - I didn't know that I could register for free if I just use my name!! That's fantastic and you're right - I can just make sure that all invoices are made out to me and my ABN.

Thanks so much!!

Where do I go to register for free? Most websites are asking for a $55 (or similar) fee??

yep go for just your name, its cheaper, plus. assuming your initials are actually AS, 'amy sarah stationary' is A S S...

Got it sorted - don't need to register if its under my own name - just need to apply for an ABN from the ATO.

***** Rayray I didn't realise that - ok back to the drawing Board for a business name then.

I want to have "Stationery Boutique" at the end - don't really want to use my last name though.

Suggestions?

I was gonna say Amy Sarah Boutique Stationary, but then its AS BS. mmm.

I am using the term "Boutique" in it's correct form meaning store - so rearranging the words doesn't really work.

My initials are ASH.

What is the likely hood that with the proper logos and branding anyone would come to the conclusion of the business name initialls being A S S???
