Useful for
The problem
Checking an ABN manually can confirm basic registration details, but supplier and business verification usually needs more context before a decision can be made.
A valid ABN is useful, but it does not always show whether the business matches the supplier, contractor, lead, or company being reviewed.
GST status, entity type, registered business names, ASIC details, location, websites, and source links often require separate checks across different places.
Businesses often trade under names that differ from their legal entity, making it harder to confirm whether the profile actually belongs to the business being assessed.
Checking one ABN is simple. Checking many suppliers, contractors, or business leads consistently becomes slow, repetitive, and difficult to manage.
The product
FastBusinessAPI is now built around a simple SaaS dashboard for checking Australian businesses by ABN, generating richer business profiles, saving important records, and reviewing your recent searches without repeating the same manual checks.
Enter an Australian Business Number from a supplier, contractor, customer, invoice, or business lead directly inside the dashboard.
See the core ABN record, including business name, ABN status, GST status, entity type, registered names, location, and ASIC details where available.
Create a structured Australian business profile with extra context such as website, industry, description, source links, confidence signals, and warnings.
Save important business profiles to your account and use recent searches to quickly return to businesses you have already checked or generated.
Search → Generate → Save → Review
Dashboard workflow

5. Reopen recent searches when needed
Also available:
API-based profile generation for teams
that want structured business data
inside their own systems.
Built for real business checks
Check whether a new supplier’s ABN, GST status, registered name, and business profile make sense before adding them to your system.
Review contractors and subcontractors with more context than a basic ABN search can provide.
Compare invoice details against ABN, GST, entity type, registered names, and public business information.
Keep useful business profiles saved to your account so you can return to them later without searching again.
Reopen your latest searches, generated profiles, and in-progress checks from one dashboard view.
Use the API as a secondary option when your team wants to generate or retrieve business profile data inside another system.
Platform features
FastBusinessAPI helps users search Australian businesses by ABN, review key details, generate a useful business profile, and keep previous checks organised from one dashboard.
Start with an Australian Business Number and find key business details such as ABN status, GST status, entity type, business names, and location.
Turn a business check into a saved profile so you can come back to supplier, contractor, client, or company records later.
Keep track of recent business checks instead of repeating the same lookup every time you need to review a business again.
Review business profile details such as identifiers, website, industry, descriptions, source links, and other useful context where available.
Update previously stored business profiles over time so saved records stay more useful without starting the check from scratch.
