Companies House Name Change Options

You can change your company’s name in two ways. The method you choose will affect the forms you need to file. Here are your two options:

Company Name Change Option 1: NM04 Form
A limited company’s director can change the company name without shareholder approval. In this case, you need to fill in the form NM04 and ensure the change is processed legally.
Company Name Change Option 2: NM01 Form
You can opt to change your company’s name by passing a special resolution. At least 75% of your company’s members must be in favour of the change. When this happens, the director must send each member a written confirmation of the resolution to change the company name. You should also file form NM01 to Companies House within 15 days

Whichever method you choose, the Affotax Formations team can help.

We’ll handle the process for you, including filling in the required forms and filing them with Companies House.

Documents Required to Change Company Name

There are several standard documents you will need to change your company’s name with Companies House.

Board meeting minutes
This confirms that all directors (or the sole director, if applicable) agree to the name change.
Special resolution
This document confirms that your shareholders agree to the change of name by a 75% majority if this method is chosen.
Companies House forms
Completion and filing of the relevant form with Companies House.
Certificate of name change
This confirms that all directors (or the sole director, if applicable) agree to the name change.

We will handle everything on your behalf, so you don’t need to worry about filling out complicated paperwork or adhering to complex processes.
It’s important to note that, in some cases, Companies House may reject your name change request. In this case, we will advise you of such so that you can reapply.
To reduce your chance of rejection, we encourage you to avoid using names similar to an existing limited company or using sensitive and offensive wording in your company’s name.
