Company name registration
The officially registered business name is the name under which the company will operate. The name is an important communicative element that allows you to allocate a product or service in the market. This is an integral part of the brand.
After you register the business name and obtain the certificate, the company receives an additional asset that can be licensed, sold, or increase the company’s capitalization. It is very significant that the name responds to all the necessary requirements of local and international legislation.
What is a company name registration?
Company name registration is the process of registering chosen business name by the state register of companies. Depending on the jurisdiction, the rules may differ, but there are several general principles. The selected name should:
- not coincide with previously registered businesses.
- not be similar to existing famous brands.
- not include special characters (+, —, / etc.) or misleading words (for example, using the word “bank” without an appropriate banking license).
- not include abbreviations LLC, LTD, LLP, or Limited.
It is also forbidden to use the so-called “sensitive words” that may indicate relationship with governmental bodies or local authorities. Of course, if you don’t have appropriate permission. In addition, there are different rules to register business name as sole trader and business partnerships. Furthermore, for entrepreneurs looking to expand their brand globally, it is crucial to consider worldwide trademark registration. Securing a worldwide trademark can provide extensive protection and legal rights for your brand across multiple jurisdictions.

Process of a company name registration
To register a new business name, one should take the following steps:
To choose shareholders and corporate secretary.
To send a package of documents to the registrar and governmental authorities of the selected country. In some countries, you can register a company online without a personal presence (For example, Cyprus).
To open a corporate bank account for the company.
If you wish to register a company name as a sole trader (or as self-employed) and meet the requirements (check the rules here), you may register a trademark to prevent others from doing business under your name. The registration process is almost the same, except sole traders do not need shareholders and corporate secretaries.
