If another company or business lodges a valid complaint against your company name within 12 months, the Company Registrar may decide to direct you to change your business name even after the company has been incorporated. You will have 6 weeks to change your business name from the date of receiving a letter from the Company Registrar. Failure to comply with the Registrar’s direction to change business names may have serious consequences. The Registrar may even cancel the registration of the business owner and the business name for non-compliance with the Registrar’s direction. The ACRA’s decision may be appealed by bringing the claim to the Minister of Finance within 30 days after the date of the ACRA’s decision.
