Company Name Change

After a company has been incorporated, it is possible to change a company name to a completely new name at any time. 121 Company Formation offers a company name change service to undertake this for you.

HOW IT WORKS:

  1. Once you have confirmed the availability of your new company name, we will complete the NM01 form and submit it to Companies House. We will also pay the Companies House fee on your behalf
  2. Within 48 hours or sooner (depending on Companies House response times) Companies House will confirm the change of name has been processed
  3. We will take receipt of the Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name which confirms that your company’s new name has been registered, and will forward it to you electronically
  4. With a change of company name, the company’s registered number will remain the same and therefore the change of name will appear in the company’s filing history.

Of note: There is no way to conceal the company’s original name in the records held at Companies House. To conceal your company’s original name, you will need to close the original company and incorporate a new company using your new chosen company name.

If a company changes its actual structure, for example it decides to become a public limited company (PLC) rather than a private limited company, this does not constitute a company name change.
