Strategic Change of Company Name
Ready for a fresh start? Whether it’s a rebranding strategy or a business pivot, we handle the entire legal procedure for changing your company name with the ROC.
The Name Change Journey
Name Approval
We check for name availability and submit the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) form to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs for approval.
Legal Documentation
We draft necessary Board Resolutions and Special Resolutions to authorize the change in the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Final ROC Filing
Upon member approval, we file the MGT-14 and INC-24 forms to obtain the new Certificate of Incorporation from the ROC.
Why Professional Assistance is Required
Changing a company name is not just about changing a board on the wall. It is a legal process involving strict adherence to the Companies Act, 2013. Improper filing can lead to name rejection, loss of application fees, and significant delays.
- Compliance Checks: We ensure your new name adheres to the naming guidelines prescribed by the MCA.
- Post-Change Updates: We provide guidance on updating your GST registration, bank accounts, and other licenses post-renaming.
- Zero Error Filing: Our experts perform a multi-step audit of your legal documents to ensure the ROC approves your request in the first attempt.
