Source review: 2026-11-06. General procedural information, not legal or tax advice. Check the linked ASIC instructions before lodging; forms, fees and portal screens can change.
Before you start
- Have the business-name holder details and the 10-digit ASIC key available.
- Confirm you are the holder or authorised to act for the holder.
How to complete the process
- Open ASIC’s business-name holder portal access page.
- Create and activate an ASIC Connect account.
- Use the ASIC key to link the registered business name to the account.
- Select the linked business name and the appropriate management transaction.
After lodgement or completion
- Keep the holder’s email current so notices and keys reach the authorised person.
Important limits and exceptions
The business-name ASIC key and company corporate key are different. Linking a business name does not automatically provide access to the company officeholder portal.
