Before you apply

A register search is the first check, not final approval

The checker compares your proposed name with registered Irish companies. The CRO still considers whether a name is too similar, misleading, offensive or contains wording that requires permission.

Use a distinctive core word rather than only generic terms.

Prepare two alternative names in case the first choice is refused.

Check registered business names and relevant trade marks separately.

Avoid committing to signage or branding before CRO incorporation.
