๐ง How to Change Your Business Name in India:
1️⃣ Check Availability of New Name:
Before making any changes, you need to check whether the new business name is available and doesn’t conflict with existing trademarks or company names. The name must not cause confusion or mislead customers.
2️⃣ Amend the Company’s Memorandum of Association (MOA):
You need to pass a special resolution at the company’s board meeting to approve the new name. The MOA should be amended to reflect the new name.
3️⃣ File with the Registrar of Companies (ROC):
After the approval, file the required forms with the Registrar of Companies and get your Certificate of Incorporation updated with the new name.
4️⃣ Trademark Considerations:
If you have already trademarked your business name, you will need to file a new trademark application with the new name to secure legal protection.
