Honcho Opiniones 

Deceitful and overpriced. It costs $102 (May 25) to register an ABN for 3 years if you do it yourself. Honcho tries for $400+. The scam works this way: choose a 3 year option, then get invoiced for 1 year. Contact them about the error and they try to charge you more. Cancel and they keep ~$50 as a "fee". If you get scammed, dispute your card charge immediately with your bank for false advertising, keep all chat transcripts, and be ready to file at Small Claims division of local court.

Honcho is a fraudulent company, selling people what they can get for free. We needed an ABN, and Honcho positioned itself to look like the official ABN website and got us to pay $99 for something we could have gotten for free on the government website. How can Honcho employees respect themselves after that?

After starting my ABN registration through the official ABR website, I received an email urging me to continue my application or it would expire in 48 hours. The email looked genuine and came at just the right time, so I assumed it was part of the official process. I clicked the link, completed the registration, and was charged $99.

Only after sharing this with my partner did I find out that applying for an ABN through the official government site is completely free. I realised I had been misled.

It’s extremely deceptive for a company to design their communication to look like it’s from a government source and target people who are going through a legitimate process. It’s unfair and feels like a deliberate attempt to take advantage of confusion. I strongly advise others to avoid this service.

i asked for a refund on a ABN application that i cancelled and was advised the following: Kindly expect an update in a separate email within 20 business days or once processed. Kindly read our Terms of Use about the refund (Clause 40) for any additional questions. when i questioned the 20 day, which by the way isn't stipulated in Clause 40!, they responded Our refund procedure involves several meticulous steps to ensure accuracy, compliance, and fairness of the refund process. Our team initiates the process with verification of purchase and eligibility for a refund. We also conduct reviews of the transaction details to avoid any errors in the refund amount and to maintain financial integrity. Lastly, in the technical aspect of the refund process, it includes updates to our systems and financial platforms which usually take some time, and this ensures accuracy of the refund records.

Our 20-business-day window accounts for potential delays that may arise during this comprehensive process. Please be assured that we understand the urgency of your request and are actively working to expedite the process. Once all checks are complete, we will confirm the refund and notify you promptly via email confirmation.
for this company to take your money in seconds circa$400 and then say wait 20 days is unacceptable.

Is this fraudulent behaviour?
I thought i was paying ASIC because of the deceptive format of their refernce to ASIC services on their site which is prioritized in the google search for ASIC.
Note: Honcho is disguised as BusinessName.com.au which is prioritised in the google search for ASIC
I contacted Honcho business immediately (within 5 minutes) after an incorrect $297.00 payment transaction, this afternoon.  I requested a full refund of the $297.00 

Honcho hadn't processed the application nor the payment so at the time they have not incurred costs or damage at the time of the refund request.

Please refund the $297.00 as requested and I was told that I have to pay $43.85 for the refund, even though that had not processed the payment nor the registration at the time of my refund request.

I cancelled my credit card and I have reported Honchos alleged fraudulent charge of $43.85 for this simple payment error to the Honcho business.

Difficult to find your way to DNS settings, but the Live Chat / Tech Support team have been amazing and organised everything for me. Emma has been so helpful!

It was fantastic to have been offered assistance by a person. Emma was extremely helpful and professionally took the time to answer and explain all my questions. Thanks Emma

Very helpful with the questions I had asked as I knew little about the questions I was filing out.

Lovely people at Honcho help me out on a daily basis in a kind and efficient way

Lara was efficient, fast and supportive. Also informative of information that I was unaware of.

This online company indicates that a company name was available, but shortly after they informed me that it wasn't. So I asked for a refund, which they informed me that it could take up to 20 days to process. What a joke. Well it has been long after the 20 days many emails later and surprise surprise nothing from Honcho. $1300 dollars later I am out of pocket and this company just goasts you. Do not use them there will be better options out there.
