What is a Company Name Change?
A company name change is the formal process of legally changing the name of a registered company with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). This involves passing resolutions, filing necessary forms, and updating business records to reflect the new name.
Why Change Your Company Name?
Businesses opt for a company name change for various reasons, including:
-
Rebranding: To refresh brand identity and market positioning.
-
Business Expansion: Reflecting new services, products, or geographical growth.
-
Legal Requirements: Addressing conflicts with trademarks or similar business names.
-
Mergers & Acquisitions: Adapting to new ownership or corporate structure.
Step-by-Step Process to Change Your Company Name
1. Board Resolution
A Board Meeting is held where directors pass a resolution approving the name change.
2. Check Name Availability
A name search is conducted with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to ensure the new name is available.
3. Pass Special Resolution
A General Meeting is held to obtain shareholder approval for the name change via a special resolution.
4. File MGT-14 with MCA
The company files Form MGT-14 with the ROC to notify the approval of the special resolution.
5. File Name Change Application (INC-24)
The company submits Form INC-24 to MCA for final approval.
6. Obtain Certificate of Incorporation
Once MCA approves, the company receives an updated Certificate of Incorporation with the new name.
7. Update Company Documents
The Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) must be updated.
8. Publish Public Notice
A public notice should be published in newspapers to inform stakeholders about the change.
