Tá comhairliúchán dúnta
The Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation is reviewing the Registration of Business Names Act 1963. As part of the review process, the Department is seeking submissions from interested parties.
A business name is used to carry on a business by any individual, body corporate or partnership, which has a place of business in the State and that name is not the same as their true name(s). If a business is carried on under an assumed name, it may be difficult for a person to ascertain who the legal entity is behind the business supplying the goods or services and if a cause of action accrues to know “who to sue?”. The registration of business names in accordance with the 1963 Act enables customers and suppliers to know the legal entity behind a business name. Its main aim is to provide transparency for those doing business.
The Act requires any:
to register their business name with the Registrar of Companies in the Companies Registration Office (‘the Registrar’).
The Act requires the Registrar to issue a certificate of registration (‘a business name registration certificate’) to applicants and to maintain an index of all business names (‘the Business Names Register’). Any person may search for a business name on the Register of Business Names free of charge using the Registrar’s search facility.
Respondents are requested to make their submissions to caroline.kiernan@dbei.gov.ie
The deadline for submissions is 5pm on Tuesday, 10 September 2019 .
