Changing a Company's Name
Changing a Company's Name
A company can change its name at any time after its incorporation. To do so, it must follow the procedures outlined in the Companies Act, 2013. This involves obtaining approval from the company's board of directors and shareholders, reserving the new name with the government, and obtaining a new certificate of incorporation.
Changing a company's name does not affect its legal existence, assets, or liabilities.
