Pty Ltd check — verify an Australian proprietary company

"Pty Ltd" marks an Australian proprietary company: privately held, capped at fifty non-employee shareholders and barred from offering shares to the public. Every one carries a nine-digit ACN issued at registration and, when trading, an eleven-digit ABN. Order the official record for any Pty Ltd — name, numbers, status and registered details — in minutes. From €9.99.

Why Pty Ltd checks are about numbers, not names

Australian company names recycle: businesses rebrand, deregister and re-register, and trading names differ from registered names. The stable anchor is the ACN — assigned once, never reused. A serious Pty Ltd check resolves the exact company by number and then reads its current status, not just whether a similar name exists.

The second trap is the ABN: it stays quotable on invoices even when GST registration has lapsed or the company is sliding toward deregistration for unpaid fees. The company-level record is what settles existence and standing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an ACN and an ABN?

The ACN (Australian Company Number, 9 digits) is the company's registration identity; the ABN (Australian Business Number, 11 digits) is the business identifier used for tax and invoicing, and for companies it embeds the ACN in its last nine digits. A valid ABN on an invoice does not by itself prove the company's current status.

What status can a Pty Ltd have?

Registered, under external administration, or deregistered are the states that matter. A deregistered Pty Ltd has ceased to exist as a legal person — yet its name and ABN can still be floating around on paperwork.

Can I see shareholders of a Pty Ltd?

Proprietary companies report their members, and company records identify officeholders and share structure. Our report contains the registered details the official sources publish for the specific company.
