At Rebizco, we simplify the complex process of changing your company’s name under Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013, which permits a name change through a special resolution with Central Government approval. However, if you’re simply adding or removing the word “Private” in your company name, no such approval is needed.
Whether you’re rebranding, restructuring, or repositioning your company in the marketplace, Rebizco ensures your company name change is legally compliant, seamlessly executed, and professionally communicated.
What Is a Company Name Change?
A Company Name Change involves legally altering the registered name of your company without affecting its legal identity or continuity. Common reasons include mergers, acquisitions, ownership changes, or rebranding initiatives. Although your company’s core structure remains the same, the new name must be reflected across all legal, operational, and communication channels.
At Rebizco, we guide you through this transformation — from shareholder approval to government filings and public announcements.
