How to register a trade name

Here's the simple version.

A trade name is registered separately from your company registration, usually at the same registrar's office, to protect your business name from being used by others.

1. 1

   Search name availability

   Ask the registrar to check your proposed trade name isn't already taken.

2. 2

   File the application

   Submit the trade name application with your company registration reference.
