Proposed company names

Provide at least two alternative names to submit to the Companies Registrar for approval. Any of the suggested names may be rejected.

Suggested names

I'll proceed with a pre-approved name We keep a list of pre-approved company names that are ready to use and can significantly speed up registration. Choose this and we'll share the available options with you after you submit this form.

Second choice*

Third choice (optional)

Tips: The name must end with Ltd or Limited. Avoid generic names already in common use. We may have pre-approved company names available for immediate use — contact us for enquiries.

Check whether your proposed names are likely to be approved. Names identical or similar — including similar-sounding — to existing companies or pending applications may be rejected by the Registrar.
