Change, swap or alter a company name with us

Swap a Company Name

As a sole trader or unregistered business, you are free to change your limited company name whenever you choose. If you start to offer a new service, expand your business or merge with another service, it could be time to rebrand. However, the situation is less simple for limited companies. All of your registered information as a limited entity is tied to your business name, and it is this name which you register during company formation.

If you wish to make a name change, you will need to make an application for this and have your original name removed from the register, moving all of your private company information to the new name's records.

You can start using a new company name as soon as it has been approved by Companies House, which is usually within 24-48 hours of submitting the relevant form online, it can take up to one week to process if you send the form by post. Our company name change service takes care of everything from the drafting of the resolution, to filing it with Companies House and completing all of the legal procedures.

This might sound like a complicated process, but Coddan has many years of experience in making these changes and we understand the system well. We can often arrange for your company name to be changed the same day if it is urgent. We can email you a “PDF” version of the official certificate of name change.

If you want to change your name as quickly and simply as possible, seek expert advice and contact us today. We can change, swap or alter your limited company's name, ensuring that the new name is correctly registered and all details have been changed over, so that you can trade using your changed name right away.
