ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BUSINESS NAME REGISTRATION
Can a Company have 2 names?
Every company can have at least two names:
- the Registered name registered with CRO initially when the company was incorporated, and
- a Business name under which the company wishes to trade.
For example a company registered as Horizon Business Solutions Ltd may wish to trade as Horizon. The trading name Horizon must be registered with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) as a Business Name.
How to register a Business Name?
To register a business name, you must submit the following form, along with the registration fee (€40 for paper filing/€20 for electronic filing), to the CRO within one month of adopting the business name: Form RBN1B: for a body corporate.
How long does the registration take?
It normally takes three weeks from the receipt of the paper form or signature page in the CRO for the registration of a business name and the issue of the certificate.
The registrar issues a certificate of registration for each business name registered.
How to check if Business name is available?
The CRO does not check proposed business names against names on the registers of companies or business names.
You can undertake a search of the trade mark register at the Intellectual Property Office of Ireland.
How to use Company Business name?
A copy of the certificate of registration must be exhibited in a conspicuous position in the case of a company, at its registered office in the State and in every branch, office or place where the business is normally carried on.
The name(s) of the proprietor(s) of a business must be shown on all business letters, circulars etc. on which the business name appears. If the proprietor of the business name is a company, the following additional information must be shown on business letters:
- The full name of the company ;
- The names and any former names of the directors and nationality if not Irish;
- The place of registration (e.g. registered in Dublin, Ireland);
- the registered number (i.e. number of certificate of incorporation);
- the address of the registered office (where this is already shown on the document, the fact that it is the registered office must be indicated);
