Once you have decided the name you would like to use for your company, simply visit our homepage to use our quick search tool to confirm whether the company name is available. We provide this resource free of charge, so you can try as many company name variations as many times as you like until you find one that is suitable, available, and approved by Companies House.
All companies that are limited by shares or by guarantee must feature the word ‘Limited’ in their name (abbreviated to Ltd). In Wales, the equivalent ‘Cyfynfedig’ (abbreviated to Cyf) should be used.
Companies Containing Sensitive Words: Every company name has to be approved by Companies House.

For a wider distribution of the share capital - and therefore the ownership of a company - more shares can be issued and allocated to as many different shareholders as required. In these circumstances, the issue of 100 shares for distribution would generally suffice unless a large financial investment is made into the company which would require the issue of more share capital.
Once you have decided how many shares will be issued and who the shareholder/s of your company will be, we will require the following information to process your company formation application:
