Company Name
Can I choose any name I want for my company?
No. There are some restrictions on your choice of company name.
Company name checks
It is important to check that the name you want is acceptable to Companies
House before you complete the company formation documents. Briefly, the restrictions
are that:
you cannot register the same name as another company;
the use of certain words is restricted; and
names likely to cause offence are not allowed.
It is also important to check whether your chosen name is similar to any other
names already on the register. If your chosen name is too like another name,
an objection could be made within the 12 months following the incorporation
of your company and you could be directed by the Secretary of State to change
the company name.
