FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs on changing the legal name of a company in the Cayman Islands

F.A.Q.

Are there restrictions on the types of names a company can choose?

Yes, the Cayman Islands registry imposes restrictions on certain names. For instance, names that are identical or too similar to existing entities, misleading, or offensive are not allowed. Additionally, specific words like "Bank" or "Trust" may require special permissions or licenses.

Does the Articles of Association need to be amended after a company name change?

Yes, amending the Articles of Association (AOA) is typically required to reflect the new company name. This ensures that all official company documents remain consistent and compliant with Cayman Islands laws.

What are the implications of operating under an outdated company name after a name change is approved?

Operating under an outdated name can lead to confusion with stakeholders, invalid contracts, and potential legal non-compliance. It's critical to update all legal, operational, and marketing documents to reflect the new name promptly.

Does a name change affect existing contracts and agreements of the company?

No, a name change does not invalidate existing contracts or agreements. However, it is important to notify all relevant parties and update the company’s name in these documents to maintain clarity and legal consistency.

Can a company name change be rejected by the Cayman Islands registry?

Yes, the registry may reject a name change if the proposed name violates restrictions, is misleading, or conflicts with an existing registered entity. Conducting a name availability check beforehand can help avoid rejections.

Can a company in the Cayman Islands change its name multiple times?
