Companies House are running stronger checks on Company names which give a false of misleading impression to the public.
They can now reject an application to register a name where they have reason to believe.
- The name is intended to facilitate fraud.
- The name is comprised of or contains a computer code.
- The name is likely to give the false impression the company is connected to a foreign government or an international organisation whose members include two or more countries or territories (or their governments)
Companies House can also direct companies to change their name. If a company fails to change its name within 28 days, they can now determine a new name for the company, for example, changing the company name to its registered company number.
We can suppress a name from the register while a company responds to a direction to change its name.
These changes have been introduced under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act. For more information click the link https://bit.ly/3wumWRe

Tax Protection
With HMRC becoming more spontaneous with tax investigations we strongly suggest that every business is insured against the cost of investigation. So strongly in fact, that we automatically build it in to our fixed fee agreements. Many of our clients have been very grateful for this insurance when HMRC have come knocking.
