Overview
How this registration works.
Business registration is the broader question of establishing or registering a business or business activity — starting something new, trading under a name, or making an existing activity formal. What it involves depends on what you're doing, how it's structured and where it takes place.
What to work out first
What you're setting up
A new business, a new activity inside an existing one, or putting something informal on a formal footing.
How it will be structured
Whether you'll operate on your own, with others, or through a company — which may point you to Company Registration.
Where it will operate
Requirements are set locally, so the place the business operates matters from the very start.
What else it brings with it
Registering a business can lead to tax and regulatory registrations of its own, depending on the activity.

Not sure what you need
You don’t have to know what it’s called.
Most people arrive with a letter, a deadline or a request from somebody else — not with the name of a registration. Tell us what has been asked of you and we will work out which path it belongs to.
