Davenports Accountancy

All companies which are commonhold associations must end their name with 'commonhold association limited' or the Welsh equivalents. Right to Manage companies must end their name with 'RTM company limited' or the Welsh equivalent. All companies which are community interest companies (CICs) must have names which end with the words 'community interest company', community interest public limited company' or their abbreviations (or Welsh equivalents).

These include names which contain words prescribed by regulations (see question 4 below) and names which suggest a connection with Her Majesty's Government, or local government. A name that sounds the same as one already on the Index of Company Names will be accepted if the two names are spelt differently.
