did you check with company house prior to naming yourself as a trader? is it a case of if the name isn't on company house you can trade unde rit ?

[Alex Gardiner]

Generally speaking if you are a sole-trader you can trade under any name you want to. This applies unless it can be proven that you have used a name to take business away from an established competitor. Even this would only come up if it went to court.

ta much alex!

Great, I am changing my name to "Gucci window cleaning"

with the strapline "Most people can't afford it"

Fits my company image well

[Londoner]

Is "Splash and Dash" taken?

[Alex Gardiner]

We have noticed amongst our customer base that it is amazing how window cleaners use the same trading name.  I think the most that we have is four clients with exactly the same trading name, all from different areas.
