Why Change Your Company Name?
Businesses evolve, and your company name should reflect your vision. Common reasons for a name change include:
Rebranding – modernize your identity or align with new services.
Mergers & acquisitions – reflect the combination of multiple businesses under one identity.
Clarity or differentiation – avoid confusion with similar companies or stand out in your market.
Compliance or legal reasons – remove restricted words or comply with updated regulations.
Whatever your reason, a professional approach ensures a smooth transition without disrupting your business operations.
How the Process Works
Changing your company name is a legal process that requires notifying Companies House. We make it simple with a step-by-step service:
-
we ensure your new name is unique, complies with Companies House rules, and avoids restricted words.
-
We complete the official forms for changing your company name, including the special resolution required by your shareholders.
-
Once approved, your new name is officially registered, and a Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name is issued.
-
We offer guidance and assistance to help you update your business details following the name change, and can connect you with trusted professionals for any areas outside our scope.
