What's the deal with these?
I'm trying to think of a decent name for a software consultancy but every single one I try is already registered at companies house.
Is it basically that if it's registered at companies house then there is no way I can use it?

You can register a company name and trade under a different one. Got to be careful for anything that is trademarked though.

What about your name consultancy.
I assume you are making sure any prospective name has an URL available.

Well yeah but the companies house check comes first, not much point checking for a domain if the company name isn't available.
I wanted Xenon Consulting but it was taken

Looking at getting out of ML then mate? I know your colleague who I did the correction work on the A8 for wasn't feeling too sure about his job security
I had to change my name right at the start of my business as some sneaky bugger had registered it pretty much at the same time as I was setting up - I brought the domain name and he registered the company name

Can't remember if you can get away with putting 'UK' after it or not. Can ask at work tomorrow.

You can, you can get away with just about anything.
I know this as my old boss has abused the system to its full potential. Ripped off the company he worked for, stole all their clients and changed 1 letter in the company's name, a 'k' to a 'q'. Even survived the legal proceedings which followed.
