Company Formation FAQ - Change a Company Name

Companies can change its name by four methods by: -

Companies must notify the Registrar by completing a notice available for each method. This notice must be accompanied by the fee.

Change of name is a part file process. The change of name is only effective when the Registrar has processed all the documentation required. Names cannot be reserved so we strongly recommend you send the documents together.

From October 2008 a name can also be changed by the Company Names Tribunal as a result of a successful complaint for opportunistic registration. This process is not administered by Companies House. Any query or documentation should be addressed to the Patent Office.
