Changing the company name
You can change a company name at any time after incorporation.
This can be done either by having the members (be they shareholders or guarantors) pass a special resolution or (if the company’s articles permit it) by the directors resolving to do so.
The first thing you should do is check the articles of association to see which protocol is required.
When a new name has been chosen, you must apply to Registry and wait for their approval before using it. If it contains any ‘sensitive’ words or expressions, you will have to provide supporting documentation.
It is necessary to go through the official name-change procedure even if you’re simply correcting a spelling error or changing a symbol or punctuation mark.
