UK Company Name Change Service

✓Proposed-name compliance review✓Special resolution preparation✓New certificate tracked after acceptance
SERVICE OVERVIEW
A new brand name becomes the company’s legal name only after Companies House registers it.
Companies change names after a rebrand, acquisition, restructuring or to better reflect their market. The proposed name must comply with Companies House rules and should also be checked against trade marks and trading-name risks.
We prepare the routine approval and filing route, then track the new certificate. The legal entity and company number remain the same, but contracts, banking records, invoices, licences, websites and tax registrations may need updating.
