For the next steps, we'll assume you've come up with a new business name. After all, how do you make the name change go as smoothly as possible? First, of course, it must be officially arranged. Changing the name of a sole proprietorship, vof, partnership or cv can be done directly at the Chamber of Commerce. You can make the change on this page. If you want to change the company name of your bv then this must be done through a notary since the articles of association must be amended.
Just one more thing: it is also possible to have multiple trade names, your current CoC registration remains the same. You just have an extra trade name from which you can approach customers and relations.
Step 3: New corporate identity
Now that your company name has been changed at the Chamber us mobile numbers list of Commerce, it becomes a matter of shaping the name so that the outside world also sees that you have undergone a name change and may have a whole new look. With a new name comes, of course, a new logo. Perhaps a whole new corporate identity with different colors, fonts and e-mail signature and stationery. Have you chosen a company name from Brandio? Then you will also receive a new logo immediately. That saves another step.
Step 4: Maintain online findability
Of course, changing your company name should not affect your business operations. Your new business name should not cause you to suddenly experience a dip in customers and/or revenue. So it is important to keep what you already have. Especially if some of your customers come through online channels, it is important to make this transition smooth. Some points to consider are;
Get your old website redirected to your new website
Have name links on external websites updated
Make sure reviews are carried over to your new company name
Make the change to Google products like Google My Company
Adapt your social media
Switch to the new e-mail address and automatically forward the old one
