Companies Registration Office B1 Change of Company Name Application

Changing your company name in Ireland requires a formal B1 application to the Companies Registration Office (CRO). This comprehensive form template streamlines the entire process, from checking name availability to gathering director approvals and preparing documentation for submission.

Designed specifically for Irish limited companies, solicitors, and company secretaries, this template ensures compliance with the Companies Act 2014 and CRO requirements. The form guides you through each necessary step: verifying your proposed name meets CRO naming conventions, confirming the name isn't already in use or too similar to existing registrations, collecting required company details, and obtaining proper authorisation from directors.

Whether you're rebranding your business, correcting a company name, or aligning your registered name with your trading name, this template eliminates the paperwork confusion. The structured format ensures you provide all mandatory information the CRO requires, reducing the risk of rejection and delays.

For legal professionals and company secretaries managing multiple filings, this template integrates seamlessly with Paperform's workflow capabilities. Use Stepper to automate follow-up tasks like notifying Companies House of the change, updating bank details, informing Revenue, or syncing the new company name across your practice management system. You can even collect digital signatures from directors using Papersign, creating a fully digital approval trail.

Built for Irish businesses that value efficiency and compliance, this template helps you navigate CRO requirements with confidence while maintaining a professional standard throughout the application process.
