Recently we noticed clients have received letters asking for payment of business name renewal by going to a BNrenewal webpage.
While we do not know the genuineness of these letters, we can confirm that this correspondence did NOT come from ASIC. The letter would also ask for a higher renewal fee than if you have renewed your business name directly from ASIC.
We would like to remind business owners that business name details are publicly available to anyone doing a search on the ASIC website. This includes the business names, renewal date, address. ASIC would only issue business renewal letters 30 days before your renewal date, any time outside this time frame is very likely to be a scam.
