Company Name Change

Description

How do you change a company name?
Starts with the submission of 4 proposed names for approval to CIPC. Once the new name is approved, it needs to be resubmitted to CIPC to do the company name change. The name approval is an online digital process  – provided the names are not rejected by CIPC.

How long does it take to change a company name?
It is fairly simple process and usually between 1 to 2 working days. However, if all of the names are rejected by CIPC, this adds costs and delays the process as another 4 names will need to be submitted for approval.

How long does it take to get a proposed company name approved?
It shouldn’t take more than a day, unless your proposed company names are rejected – if that is the case the 4 new names need to be submitted to CIPC as well as the additional costs.
