Singapore Business Name Check

To check if a business name is taken in Singapore, you can use the Company Name Checker Tool provided by Osome. This tool is integrated with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) database, allowing you to search for existing business names. Simply enter your desired company name into the search bar, and the tool will quickly verify its availability against registered names in Singapore. If the name has already been taken, you can reach out to our Business Name Generator, which will suggest alternative names or variations to consider.

In Singapore, a company generally cannot register an identical name to an existing company to prevent confusion and protect brand identity. However, under certain circumstances, such as if the companies are part of the same group or have received prior consent from the existing company, it might be possible. Approval from ACRA is required, and the name must still comply with the guidelines set to prevent misleading the public or infringing on trademark laws.

Reserving a company name in Singapore is a simple process that can be done through the ACRA BizFile+ portal. After checking that your desired name is available using the Osome Company Name Checker Tool, you can submit a name reservation application directly through ACRA. Once approved, the name will be reserved for 120 days, giving you ample time to prepare and submit your company formation application.

To make this process even smoother, consider using Osome's comprehensive company incorporation services. Our team of experts will handle all the paperwork and ensure that your business is set up correctly and efficiently. Ensure you have all necessary documents and information ready to expedite the registration process, and let Osome take care of the rest.

To check if a company name is available in ACRA, you can directly access the ACRA BizFile+ portal or use the Osome Company Name Checker Tool. The process is straightforward: enter your preferred company name into the search tool, and it will cross-reference the ACRA database to see if the name is already in use. This ensures that you choose a unique name that complies with Singapore's business naming regulations, avoiding any issues during the registration process.
