   1. Renew your business name using Pay now - Link: All you need is your account number (as shown on your renewal notice) or your Australian Business Number (ABN) (if listed on the Business Names Register). You may pay using your credit card (MasterCard or Visa) or pay later by invoice (BPAY and Australia Post).
   2. Renew your business name using ASIC Connect - Link: ASIC Connect is ASIC's online system you may use to manage your business name. You will need an ASIC Connect account to renew your business name.
