Business Name

Louise77

Hi,

Quick question - I've been running a small nixer on the side for a couple of years. The company I've been working with now wants to pay be by cheque - but only with the payment going to my company name (I asked for it to be addressed to my personal name). Is there a simple quick way of registering my business name and then changing my bank account to accept the cheque on behalf of my company??? Confused!!??
Thanks a mill

Fill in the form for a business name ...
They'll send you out a business name cert or some such thing .. go into your bank with that ... and they'll hopefully be able to sort you out

Hi,
Just wondering if a sole trader who previously has traded under his or her own name registers a business name such as xyz can he or she still trade under his or her own name as well?
Thanks.

Yes.

Thanks, I downloaded the form and spotted theres a spot for other names that you're trading under. Thats great.

AFAIK you don't need to go via CRO if it's an incorporation of you own name EG "Louise 77 IT Services".

No, it's the exact opposite, you need to register if it's anything other than your exact name.
I.E. Trading as John Murphy is ok, John Murphy Builders would need to be registered.

Yea you got to go through the CRO takes about 2 weeks to get a cert then take it to the bank. But remember when you register you are above the rador with the tax man.

It's not two weeks at the moment, they're taking a month or more. You can do it online via CORE -- you have to post a signature sheet but it's still quicker than the standard postal system as the form doesn't have to be transcribed. A client of mine waited 6 weeks or more for postal applications to process.

I was waiting a month for my RBN to come through. Done it via CORE and posted sig sheet and cheque same day, and it was just over 20 working days when I got it back, so you might expect some delay, however it could be just once off, as they are usually quite fast in my previous experience.

Seems to be seasonal, or just demand-based. The current backup has lasted since around the start of the year, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight.

(I manage domain name portfolios for companies that register new RBNs as supporting documentation for their IE domains, so I depend somehat on the IEDR.)
