Register a company with pre-eminence implication

Companies House Business Names Registration Policy

• Authority

To use this word your company must be one of the following:

• a governing, supervisory or representative body of an activity like sport or religion, trade, business, profession
• a body with a recognized expertise.

Evidence must be produced to show that the company will be what it claims, and that it is has the support of whoever it claims it will govern, supervise, or look to it for expertise. Companies House would expect to see official supporting documents from a government or other representative body.

Companies House will reject your application to register your company if there is no official letter to support the use of the sensitive word in your company names.

The objective is to ensure that the use of this word in your company names is justified and it does not mislead the public.
