Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A wonderful service experience.

I made the gravest error in registering my business name. I was incredibly blessed to have Trish (Client Service Professional) who helped sort this out. Without her assistance the therapy practice I have waited my entire professional life to start, would have failed miserably even before beginning.
I am so incredibly grateful and appreciative of the professionalism, patience and diligence with which she worked through the problem.
Highly highly recommended.

Honcho.com.au unethical practices

I needed an ABN and ended up on Honcho.com.au. It looked like an official registration business and process. They charged me $99.00 for an ABN which I then found out is a free process. I phoned the Melbourne Honcho number but someone in the Philippines answered and refused to refund my money. I then emailed Honcho a few times saying the distress I felt and asking for a refund. It was flatly refused. I am still very distressed at having been conned into paying $99.00 for a free service.

Honcho is a scam

Honcho is a scam
Registering for an ABN is free
Honcho makes you think you’re on the official ABN registration site and charges you $99 for registering.
If you have fallen for this scam, call your bank, what Honcho is doing is fraud. My bank refunded my $99 and your bank will probably refund your $99 too.
