Professional limited company formation agents electronically filing directly with Companies House.

Picking a company name isn’t something that should be done lightly. It is possible to change it down the line and after company registration has gone through, but it’s better to make the right choice first time around if you can. Some businesspeople see a change of name is seen as slightly suspicious- a sign that you’re trying to hide something- and even if that’s not a concern, changing all your graphic design work, letterhead, business cards, website, and directory listings will take time and money. A change of name also means losing the brand recognition you’ve built up. For those reasons and more, it’s best to stick with one name throughout your trading history if possible. Devote plenty of time to making the choice, and ask the opinion of friends and relatives. Someone you know might have a great idea or be able to suggest pros and cons to help you narrow down a list of candidate names before it’s time for company registration. A company name should be unique. If you’re doing company registrations online, it’s very easy to look up potential business names to see if they’re available. Don’t be too disappointed if your first choice is already taken. Think outside the box and you’re sure to come up with a second choice that’s just as good. We offer all visitors a handy tool to help with company registrations online or offline. Even if you are choosing another formation agent, you’re welcome to use our business name checker tool. It’ll tell you whether or not a particular name is available, and suggest close alternatives if it’s not.
