Company Name Change

Overview of Company Name Change

Changing a company's name can be necessary for a variety of reasons, including rebranding, mergers, acquisitions, or strategic shifts in business direction. The Companies Act, 2013 provides a legal framework for carrying out this change within India. Our robust service ensures your company's name change is processed smoothly, meeting all statutory requirements.

Legal Framework

The Companies Act, 2013 sets forth specific requirements and procedures for changing the name of a company. This includes obtaining board resolution, shareholder approval, and authorization from the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Our team provides comprehensive support throughout this process.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Board Meeting: The process begins with a meeting of the board of directors to pass a resolution in favor of changing the company name. This decision forms the basis for further action and is documented officially.

2. Name Availability: Check for the availability of the proposed new name through a name search on the MCA portal. Ensure the name complies with naming guidelines and is not similar to any existing entities.

3. Special Resolution: Call for an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to secure shareholder approval via a special resolution for the name change. This step is crucial as it aligns the decision with shareholder interests.

4. Filing with ROC: File necessary forms along with the approved special resolution with the Registrar of Companies. This typically involves filing form MGT-14 and INC-24, reflecting the company’s intention and authority for the name change.

5. Approval and Certification: Once filed, the ROC examines the form and grants approval if all criteria are met. Upon approval, a fresh certificate of incorporation reflecting the new name is issued.

6. Update Stationery and Legal Documents: Post-approval, update all company stationery, signages, and documents to reflect the new company name. This includes notifying banks, creditors, and other stakeholders.
