Company Name Change Services
📌 What is a Company Name Change?
A company name change involves legally modifying the existing name of a company to a new registered name. Companies may opt for a name change due to rebranding, mergers, expansion, change in business activity, or compliance requirements.
Under the Companies Act, 2013, any alteration to the company’s name requires a corresponding amendment in the Memorandum of Association (MOA) under Section 4(1) and Articles of Association under Section 13. The process ensures that the company’s new name is legally recognized, unique, and reflected in all statutory records.
📌 Why Company Name Change is Important
A legally approved name change ensures:
- Compliance with Section 4(1) and 13 of the Companies Act, 2013, safeguarding the company from penalties.
- Brand alignment, reflecting the company’s new vision, business model, or expansion strategy.
- Avoidance of conflicts, as MCA approval ensures the name is unique and does not duplicate existing companies or trademarks.
- Accuracy in legal and statutory records, including contracts, licenses, and agreements.
- Credibility for stakeholders, including shareholders, investors, clients, and regulatory authorities.
