Change Your Company Name
A name change needs a shareholder resolution before Companies House will file it — and a few things update automatically once it does, others don't.
Changing a company's name requires a special resolution passed by shareholders, then a filing with Companies House. Once approved, a new certificate of incorporation is issued under the new name — but contracts, bank accounts, and existing stationery referencing the old name don't update themselves.
HTG Accountants prepares the resolution, files the change, and gives you a clear checklist of what still needs updating elsewhere once the new name is confirmed.
