Under Irish Legislation, individuals who wish to trade under a name not their own true name must register the name that they wish to trade with. This is so that the identities of the people trading under a name cannot be hidden. This legislation comes under the Registration of Business Names Act 1963.
Important Considerations:
• The registration of a business name does not protect the name from being used by someone else.
• The Acceptance of the Business Name does not mean that the CRO will accept this name as a Limited Company Name.
• The name is not registered until fully approved by the Companies Registration Office.
