01: Introduction

Choosing a business name is one of the first things you will need to agree once you’ve decided to start up a company. While you can be as creative as you like, there are some rules and regulations as well as some practical tips and hints that you will need to bear in mind.

If you’ve decided to form a limited company, you will need to first register the company and the name with Companies House, making sure that there are no companies already on the register with the same or a similar name.
