Register
a Business
Name in Ireland.
Business name registration is required where;
(a) an individual uses a business name or business names which differs in any way from
his/her true surname. It makes no difference whether the individuals
first name or initials are added. So registration of a business
name is required if,
for example, Mr. John Murphy traded as Murphy Builders but not if he
traded as Murphy or John Murphy);
(b) a firm uses a business name which differs in any way from the true
names of all partners who are individuals and the corporate names of
all partners which are bodies corporate;
(c) a company uses a business name or business names which differs in any way from its
full corporate name;
(d) a person having a place of business in the State carries on the
business of publishing a newspaper.

Important Note:
Business name registration of itself, affords no protection
whatsoever in terms of limitation of liability e.g. as in the case of
a private limited company or with regard to protection of the business
name being registered. No
business name search is made either by
Business
& Company Formations
or The Companies
Registration Office
with the Trade Marks Index or the
Company Index nor Business Names Register.
As there are no business name checks performed (as is
the case when registering a limited company) on business names and no
name approval requirements in place at the CRO, any other third party
or entity may register a similar or identical business name and or
indeed multiple business names similar to the
name you are registering. It is, therefore,
advisable to investigate the possibility of others having rights in
the name which it is proposed to use prior to incurring
expenditure.
