About this service
Company Name Change with Qube Business Solutions
Rebranding a UAE company means reserving the new trade name, passing a board resolution, amending the memorandum and reissuing the licence. Trading under an unregistered name leaves you exposed.
Changing a company name means reserving the new trade name, passing a board resolution, amending the memorandum and having the licence reissued. Until that completes, contracts and invoices must continue in the registered name.
Names are checked against the register and against UAE naming rules, which restrict religious references, country names and certain abbreviations. Arabic transliteration is also reviewed, since a rejected Arabic rendering delays the whole application.
