When thinking up a trading name as a self-employed sole trader, is there some sort of online registrar the name can be checked off against? Presumably if you choose a name that happens to already be in existence, this could cause legal problems?

Hi
I don't think there's a register for checking trading names (as a sole trader). Think about it - there are probably hundreds of businesses throughout the UK with the same or similar name. I think that provided there's no-one in the near locality with the same name it's just not a problem..

Thanks for the replies. I presume it is different if you're a ltd company (which stands to reason), but as a sole trader I think Alan's answered the question - thanks!
