What they publish

Business name, ABN/ACN, registered business address, and company status — this is business-entity data, not personal consumer data, though sole traders' own names can appear as the registered business name.

Owner / network: AusCompanies.com — independent Australian business-directory site ; republishes ABN/ACN data from the Australian Business Register (ABR)/ASIC

Removing yourself, step by step

0 of 3 done
  1. Find the exact listing URL for the business/sole-trader record on auscompanies.com.
  2. Go to https://www.auscompanies.com/contact and submit the form with the listing URL and requested change.
  3. To actually change the underlying data (not just this mirror), update your registration directly with the Australian Business Register (abr.gov.au) or ASIC — auscompanies.com will resync from there.
