Australia ASIC Company Search

Search the Australian corporate registry — ASIC company numbers (ACN) cross-referenced from the Australian Business Register (ABR, operated by the ATO). Built for analysts, researchers, fintech builders and AI agents.

📊 What you get

Clean JSON, one record per company / registered entity:

• name — Legal entity name as published by the registry
• acn — 9-digit Australian Company Number (ASIC), where the entity has one
• abn — 11-digit Australian Business Number
• status — registered / deregistered / external administration / unknown
• registration_date — ISO date the ABN became active
• company_type — Pty Ltd, Ltd, Sole Trader, Partnership, …
• entity_type — the registry's own entity-type label
• registered_address — main business location as published (locality/state/postcode)
• jurisdiction — state code (NSW, VIC, QLD, …) or AU
• gst_registered, gst_effective_from — GST registration status and start date
• last_review_date — last registry review date, where published
• business_names, trading_names — arrays of published alternate names
• officers, officers_source — best-effort directors/secretaries from ASIC's free public Registry Search (see below)
• data_source, _source_url — provenance and a linkback to the record

Officers caveat: ASIC gates full officer histories behind paid Company Extracts. This actor returns only the officer signal the free public search exposes; officers_source tells you exactly what happened (asic_extract_required, asic_http_403, no_acn_available, not_requested, …). Officers are frequently an empty array — that is the source's limitation, not a run failure.

Pricing: $0.08 per company record returned (Pay-Per-Event) — about 12 records per $1. Only delivered records are charged: a search that matches nothing returns 0 rows and charges nothing for results.

▶️ Example input

{
  "companyName": "Atlassian",
  "maxResults": 3,
  "includeOfficers": false
}

Or look up an exact number:

{ "abn": "53 102 443 916" }
