Understanding ABN Lookup

ABN Lookup is the public view of the Australian Business Register (ABR). It provides access to publicly available information supplied by businesses when they register for an Australian Business Number.

You can use this tool to verify the identity and registration status of entities you wish to engage with financially or professionally.

Public Records Information

By law, certain corporate details must be made available to the public to ensure transparency in the Australian economy. Information displayed includes:

• Entity name and registered business trading names
• Australian Business Number (ABN) and status
• Entity type (e.g. Sole Trader, Pty Ltd)
• State or territory of the main business location
