FAQ
Answers before you file.
How long does a name change take?+
Electronic NM01 filings are usually processed by Companies House within 3–24 working hours.
Do I get a new company number?+
No. Your CRN stays the same for the life of the company. Only the name changes on the public register.
Are there restricted words?+
Yes — names with words like Bank, Insurance, Chartered or Royal need extra approvals. We handle the supporting statements as part of the £75.
Do I need to inform HMRC?+
Companies House shares the change with HMRC automatically. You'll want to update your bank, VAT, PAYE, invoicing and website in your own time.
Can I change from Limited to LTD (or vice versa)?+
Yes — cosmetic changes like switching between Limited/Ltd or adding accented characters follow the same NM01 route.
