A company name change is a significant event that must be handled with precision, compliance, and proper documentation. Whether you're rebranding, merging, or repositioning your business in the market, changing your company name involves several legal procedures and approvals from the relevant government authorities, especially the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) in India.
At OSBS Accounting Solutions Private Limited, we assist businesses in navigating the entire process of changing a company’s name. Our team ensures that all steps are completed accurately, on time, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
