Change Company Name
Change of Company Name
A company name change is more than a cosmetic update. It affects branding, legal identity, contracts, licences and every statutory record. Whether the change is for rebranding, expansion, restructuring or compliance reasons, the process needs precise filings, shareholder approval and updates across all government portals. Done right, the transition is smooth and fully compliant.
