10. Business name always to be used

In plain English

Any change in registered details must be reported to the registrar in writing within 14 days. A change of business name or place of business also requires handing in the registration certificate for cancellation. The registrar then issues an altered certificate. If satisfied by proof that the certificate was lost or destroyed, the registrar may excuse handing it in.
