Name protection services
Anything that adversely affects your company name may threaten your company’s good standing and undermine its overall performance.
Every business needs to safeguard its interests from competitors, suppliers and customers.
The Registrar of Companies will only refuse registration of a company name if it is identical to that of an existing company. They will allow registration of similar names. In recent years, Internet names have also created their own challenges.
Oswalds offer a range of products and services to help protect your company’s intellectual property rights and can monitor the activities of major customers and suppliers.
Domain, email & website services
Names are a limited resource. If there is a domain name that suits your business there is no guarantee that someone else will not register it before you.
Oswalds offer three packages to ensure your presence on the web is protected.
Document monitoring
Keeping track of what your customers, competitors and suppliers are doing can be crucial but it’s a time-consuming task. We can help you keep up-to-date on businesses which work closely with yours, or those that compete directly with you.
We will monitor any submissions to Companies House and immediately provide you with copies of any important documents as soon as they are filed.
Nameguard
Your company’s name is a key part of its assets, as it is associated with the reputation and goodwill of the business. If a company begins to trade under a similar name it could have a negative effect on your business.
Oswalds’ Nameguard monitoring service can notify you of any companies which register under a similar name, enabling you to act quickly to protect your company’s good name.
Name protection companies
Frequently, well- established businesses may be trading under a particular business name for some time before reaching the point where they wish to operate as a limited company. Unfortunately, company names may not be ‘reserved’ until such time as they are required.
Oswalds can assist in registration of an appropriate company in order to protect a business name until such time as it is required
