When selecting a new name for your company registration, it’s essential to ensure that the name is unique, memorable, and reflective of your brand’s identity.

Consulting with us at Cassius Law can guide you through this process and help you meet all legal requirements.

ᐅ How do I apply for a new business name for registration?
To apply for a new business name, you will need to complete the registration process through the appropriate government body, such as the companies house register.

At Cassius Law, we can assist you in navigating these steps to ensure a smooth application process.

ᐅ Can I use a DBA (Doing Business As) name for my new company registration?

ᐅ What are the benefits of registering a new name for my company?
Registering a new name for your company can enhance your brand visibility and establish a professional image in your industry.
