Modified on Sat, 18 Jul, 2020 at 1:02 PM

"Most names are acceptable to Companies House; however, there are a few exceptions:

  • The name cannot be the same or very similar to a name already being used.
  • It cannot be considered offensive.
  • The words ‘limited’ or ‘unlimited’ cannot be used unless at the end of the name.
  • Words described as “sensitive” that require supporting evidence for their use."
