How to change Company name in India | How to Change Your Company Name |

A business may decide to rebrand for a variety of tactical reasons. Aligning the company's branding with its changing business goals, which take into account adjustments to its offerings, services, or target market, is one common goal. A merger, acquisition, or reorganization may also call for a name change, which would indicate a change in ownership or corporate identity. Important legal goals, like avoiding trademark conflicts or adhering to regulatory requirements, can be achieved by changing one's name. For whatever reason, renaming a business can be a proactive move toward reviving its reputation, bolstering its market position, and adjusting to shifting market conditions. 

Let's examine the necessary conditions and steps involved in achieving this:- 

  1. 1. Reserve the name
