Why Change Your Company Name?
A company may wish to change its name for various reasons, including:
Rebranding: To reflect a new identity, vision, or business strategy.
Mergers & Acquisitions: When companies merge or acquire, a new name may be necessary to represent the new structure.
Market Expansion: A name change can signify the entry into new markets or product offerings.
Avoiding Conflicts: To resolve trademark conflicts or confusion with other businesses in the same industry.
Legal Compliance: In certain cases, a name change may be required due to legal or regulatory reasons.
Key Steps in the Company Name Change Process
Board Meeting Resolution: The first step in changing the company name is passing a resolution in the Board of Directors meeting.
Approval from Shareholders: Once the board approves the resolution, the approval of shareholders is required in a General Meeting (AGM).
Name Availability Check: Before proceeding, it is crucial to check if the desired name is available and doesn’t conflict with any existing trademarks or company names.
Filing with the Registrar of Companies (RoC): The company must file the MCA Form MGT-14 and Form INC-24 with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) for approval of the name change.
Name Change Certificate: Once the RoC approves the application, the company will receive a Certificate of Name Change, signifying the legal change of name.
Updating Legal Documents and Registrations: After the name change is formalized, it is important to update legal documents such as the Memorandum of Association (MoA), Articles of Association (AoA), PAN card, GST registration, and other statutory documents.
Informing Stakeholders: The new company name should be communicated to all stakeholders, including clients, suppliers, employees, banks, and the public.
