2. Determine if you want to register as:
- Individual: Choose this option if you want to start trading as a sole trader. As a Sole trader you are the only owner and control and manage the business. You are solely responsible for all debts of the business and you cannot employ yourself.
- Partnership: A partnership is formed by two or more people who come together to run a business. Partners are jointly liability for all debts and liabilities that might occur while operating the business. Partnerships do not pay tax on the profit, each partner pays tax on their share of the partnership profit at individual tax rates in their individual tax return.
- Company: Choose this option if you have already started a business with ASIC and need an ABN. A Company is a legal entity separate from its shareholders. This means it has its own legal rights, and personal liability is limited. Also, owners of a corporation are liable for company debts and obligations up to the extent of their investment in the company. Money Earned belongs to the Company.

- Legal name of the entity
- ACN: Companies will need to register with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) before applying for an ABN.
- Tax File Number (TFN)
- Business activity details & location
- Associates details
