Adding Your ABN to Your Business Profile
Your Australian Business Number (ABN) verifies your business and appears on invoices, rate sheets, and official documents generated through Launchpad.
Before you start
You'll need your 11-digit ABN. If you're not sure what it is, you can look it up on the ABN Lookup website.
How to add your ABN
Go to My Business from the main menu
Click Edit Profile or the edit icon
Find the ABN field in the Business Information section
Enter your 11-digit ABN (spaces are optional)
Click Save Changes
Launchpad automatically verifies your ABN with the Australian Business Register and displays your registered business name.
What happens after verification
Once your ABN is verified:
Your registered business name appears alongside your ABN
The ABN shows on invoices you send to customers
Trade rate sheets include your ABN for partner records
Your Insider profile displays your ABN (if enabled)
If verification fails
If your ABN doesn't verify:
Check the number — ensure all 11 digits are correct
Check for typos — a single wrong digit will cause failure
Verify on ABN Lookup — confirm your ABN is active at abr.business.gov.au
If your ABN is correct but still not verifying, it may be:
Recently registered (allow 24-48 hours)
Cancelled or suspended
Not yet active
Changing your ABN
If your ABN changes (for example, after restructuring your business):
Go to My Business
Click Edit Profile
Update the ABN field with your new number
Click Save Changes
Your previous ABN won't appear on new documents — only the current one.
Why your ABN matters
Adding your ABN:
Verifies your business — shows you're a legitimate Australian business
Enables invoicing — required for tax invoices
Builds trust — partners and customers can verify your details
Meets legal requirements — ABN must appear on invoices over $82.50
Your ABN is your business identity — adding it takes just a minute.
