We will continue to update and add to this small business data portal. Please email any feedback you may have to data@asbfeo.gov.au.

Please note: In line with their variation in roles, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman (the ASBFEO) have differences in their definitions of a small business. Where relevant, we make note of this in our data.
