By accessing accurate and reliable information from the Australian Business Register, users can ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, minimise fraud risks, and make informed decisions when engaging with business entities.

ABN Lookup is freely accessible to the public and can be accessed online, which allows businesses, government agencies, software developers, and other stakeholders to incorporate ABN verification and business information retrieval functionality into their systems and processes.

Registered businesses are required to keep their details up-to-date with the ABR, and users can rely on ABN Lookup to access the latest information about Australian businesses.

Example of ABN lookup

Sarah, a small business owner in Australia, wants to verify the ABN of a supplier before engaging in a business transaction. She visits the ABN Lookup website and enters the supplier’s ABN into the search bar. Within seconds, the search results display the supplier’s business name, ABN status, registration details, and other relevant information. Sarah confirms that the supplier’s ABN is valid and matches the provided business details, giving her confidence to proceed with the transaction.
