The issue of sensitive words can cause problems for many company names that aim to have something specific in their company title. These sensitive words sometimes require proof from an external body in order to enable their usage; this is to prohibit people promoting a service that they are not legally qualified to do.

Securing the right to use a sensitive word in a business name is often a long process that can halt the progress of the business name's registration.
