Questions and answers
Know what you are checking.
Simple answers about what we check, what the results mean and when to get professional advice.
Read all questionsWhat does the free Name Ledger search check?
It checks the exact Australian business name you enter, plus the matching .com.au, .au, .com and .net.au domains. The check does not register or hold the name or domains for you.
Is an available result a guarantee that I can use the name?
No. It means the name looked available when we checked it. The result can change, ASIC makes the final registration decision, and registering a business name does not give you trade mark protection.
What does ‘review required’ mean?
It means we did not receive a clear yes or no. ASIC may need to review the name, or you may need consent or more information. Treat this result as unresolved until you know what is required.
Why is .com.au treated as the required domain?
.com.au is familiar to Australian customers. Every name in a paid report must have the matching .com.au available. We also prefer the matching .au and show .com and .net.au for extra context.
Does registering a business name protect my brand?
No. A business name identifies the name you trade under. A trade mark is a separate form of protection. If the name will be valuable to your business, consider advice from an Australian trade marks professional.
Is Name Ledger affiliated with ASIC, IP Australia or auDA?
No. Name Ledger is an independent Tech Builders service. We use specialist data services to perform the checks, but the government and industry bodies named here do not operate or endorse Name Ledger.
