## Can I reuse the name of a company that was closed?

Last updated: 14 October 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

Sometimes. Whether a former company's name is available again depends on how it left the register — struck off versus wound up — how long ago, and whether any objection rights linger. SSM's search shows current registrations, but edge cases around recently-removed names need checking against practice, not guessing. We run that check before you commit branding to it.
