What’s in a company name?

At UK Company Registrations, we specialise in guiding you smoothly through the entire process of company registration. We are the premium company formation agents in the country and we help you at every stage: from conception to registration. We can even help you choose an appropriate name for your new registered company. There are certain guidelines and legal restrictions over which name you are able to choose for your company.

Obviously, your company name cannot be identical to that of another firm on the company register. You also want to choose a name which is unique, resonant and memorable, and not just reflects your products and services, but also your company ethos. Of course, your chosen company name cannot be x-rated or offensive and you must bear in mind that the suffix ‘Ltd’  will follow any name you choose, so this may affect your decision. Professional titles such as dentist, doctor etc are subject to stringent control and approval. If your company operates internationally or is part of a conglomerate group, proof may be required before you include any of this information in your name.

Because of our vast experience in company registration and our proud record as company registration agents, we can expertly advise you of any potential pitfalls in the process and ensure that your company name is legal, approved and also makes your new business prominent and memorable. Your products and services may be superior to competitors but your company name is the first introduction to them, so we can guide you through this essential and important decision.
