• A company trading under a name different from its registered corporate name must register that business name as required by law
• The Registrar may refuse to register a company under a name considered undesirable, whether on incorporation, re-registration, merger, or division
• A company may appeal to the court if the Registrar refuses registration on the grounds that the proposed name is undesirable
