A 'Business Name' refers to the legal name under which a sole trader, partnership, limited liability partnership, or company conducts business activities. The selection of a business name is regulated by the Companies Act to prevent misleading names.
In the United Kingdom, the term 'registered name' refers to the official name under which a company is incorporated. A company cannot be legally formed without this name, which must be included in its constitutional documents. There are specific legal restrictions and obligations regarding the use, change, and display of a company's registered name.
