Ltd co change of name


Morning everyone

I changed the name of a company by special resolution and sent it off to Companies House. They sent it back saying that they have received my Resolution to change company name but they need a Notice of change of name by resolution!

Before I trawl the new Companies Act 2006? to find out where this has changed, does anyone know what I should now be doing, as it seems to have changed.

Morning Phil,

my understanding was that you sent the 'special resolutionon change of name' form along with amended Memorandum of Articles (just cross out name of company in mem and arts and write new name in its place). I have only done it the once but that was accepted.

I've never used a form! We've always had an extraordinary meeting and sent a copy of the Resolution with appropriate chq and all has been fine...

Ah when I did it I downloaded the form, sent an amended copy of the mem and arts, a covering letter and I think a cheque for a tenner!

I've just looked at the form and its very similar to what we had, but its called something different!

The nice people at Companies House didn't return our form but did return the £10 chq. I shall now scrawl the details onto the new form, instead of a nicely printed one and send back with the same chq.

Thanks for your help, saved me looking.

I thought I'd check Co Hse as I seem to be well out of date, and found this:

A signed copy of the resolution(s) should then be sent to Companies House, together with the fee (currently £10) and a Notice of change of name by special resolution (Form NM01).

It would appear you need the meeting resolution (which I sent) plus the new form. It doesn't state they need amended Arts. So you now have to send 2 forms, both the same just called different things! Thats makes things easier.

I wish they would stop changing things...the problems arise when the person who opens your envelope has been there ten years and doesn't know the new rules and sends it all back again!
