PIF Partners with National Business Register to Protect Pet Business Brands

We’re proud to announce our new partnership with the Pet Industry Federation (PIF) — offering their members access to Business Name Protection, a powerful tool to defend their brand and reputation.

In doing so, PIF is leading the way in supporting its members with real, tangible value — not just discounts or advice, but protection that can make a real difference when it matters most.

Because a Name Isn’t Just a Name

Your business name is your identity. It’s how customers find you, remember you, and trust you. But if someone else uses a similar name — intentionally or not — it can lead to:

  • Lost customers
  • Damaged reputation
  • Expensive legal disputes
  • Forced rebranding

That’s where Business Name Protection comes in. It offers professional, affordable protection — even if you haven’t registered a trade mark.

For just £125 per year, PIF members can:

  • Prevent others from passing off under your name
  • Access up to £10,000 in legal support
  • Prove credibility to lenders and Google
  • Stay focused on growth — not legal headaches

This isn’t a generic add-on. It’s a strategic advantage.

PIF Is Setting the Standard

By offering Business Name Protection, PIF is giving its members more than advice — it’s giving them peace of mind, backed by over 40 years of experience from the National Business Register.

If you’re a PIF member, you can now register your business name directly and enjoy access to this essential protection, with an exclusive discount found within the member’s portal.

Part of a Membership Body? Let’s Talk.

If you represent a trade association or membership organisation and want to offer this same protection to your members, we’d love to hear from you.

Partnering with NBR gives your members:

  • Trusted legal protection
  • Increased business credibility
  • Practical support when they need it most

Contact us today on 0800 069 9090 or email info@nbrg.co.uk to find out how to get started.

Let’s work together to raise the standard — and protect more UK businesses from day one.
