I am interested in starting a small business and I want to put Corp in the name. Can I do this without the business being a corporation?
In Australia, a corporation is a legal entity that is distinct from its owners, known as shareholders. It can own property, enter into contracts, sue and be sued, and conduct business operations in its own name.
Names of corporations must end with either the identifier "Incorporated" or "Corp." If one of these identifiers is present, then the company is most likely a corporation.
A corporation is a form of business organization that doubles as a separate legal entity from its owners. All corporations are companies, but not all companies are necessarily corporations.

So does this mean I can’t put Corp in my small business name?
