Overview

Renaming your company

A company may change its name to reflect a rebrand, a shift in business focus, or simply a better-fitting identity. Because the name is part of the Memorandum and the public record, the change follows a defined process and needs Central Government approval through the Registrar.

It begins with reserving the new name, then passing a special resolution, filing the resolution and the approval application, and finally receiving a fresh certificate of incorporation. The company’s identity number stays the same, so the entity continues unchanged. KNAP Advisory runs the whole sequence for you.
