SERVICE QUESTIONS
MCA name reservation questions
What does reserving a business name achieve?
Name reservation is one step in the relevant MCA process. It does not by itself incorporate the entity or provide trademark registration; each process has its own requirements.
Who is the name-reservation review for?
Founders planning a company or LLP, and businesses considering a name change, can request a review. Share the proposed names, intended activity and entity type before the application route is selected.
Where is an MCA name-reservation application submitted?
The applicable application is submitted through the official MCA portal. Our service supports screening and preparation; approval remains with the competent authority.
When should I arrange a company-name search?
Arrange screening before committing to incorporation documents or a brand launch. If a name has already been approved, check the approval conditions and validity before relying on it.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you reserve a name
Does this guarantee MCA name approval?
No. Name approval or reservation is the decision of the MCA/Registrar. Our work is a professional pre-filing review and filing-support service intended to reduce avoidable risks and make the application better prepared.
Is a company-name search the same as a trademark search?
No. MCA/company-name and trademark records serve different purposes. We screen both relevant areas at a practical level, but trademark registration, clearance opinions, opposition work and litigation are separate specialist scopes unless expressly agreed.
Can this be used for a new company or LLP?
Yes, subject to the entity type and current MCA process. We confirm whether the proposed matter concerns a new incorporation, an LLP, or a change of name for an existing entity before finalising the scope.
Why does the service start at ₹25,000?
The fee reflects the extended research, name-rule analysis, written shortlist work and coordinated filing support required for a meaningful pre-filing assessment. Complex names, regulated words, multiple activities, extensive searches or additional responses may require a separate written quotation.
