With businesses today, your business’ name is more than just an identifier – it’s a cornerstone of your brand identity and a vital asset that distinguishes you from competitors. Protecting this asset is crucial, and at National Business Register (NBR), we offer comprehensive Business Name Protection services designed to safeguard your brand’s integrity and value.
Understanding Business Name Protection
Business Name Protection is ideal for those Businesses that work locally rather than nationally or globally and for those that do not want to or can’t trademark their name. Gaining this protection means that you are protected from copycats trading in your sector and area and damaging your reputation because they are passing their business off as yours.
This service stops others from using identical or confusingly similar names within your industry and gives you peace of mind. Through checks are completed prior to being onboarded as a business name client, and by having this in place it means that National Business Register undertake the work in the passing off case and fund the first £10,000 of legal assistance for just £125+vat per year.
But, it must be remembered that this service needs to be renewed annually to get this level of protection. Renewing your Business Name Protection is more than just maintaining a service – it’s about safeguarding your business’s reputation and security. Without renewal, your protection against passing off, name hijacking, and other misuse of your business name ceases to exist, leaving you vulnerable to risks that could harm your brand and disrupt your operations.
When your Business Name Protection lapses, competitors or opportunists could register your name and exploit your hard-earned reputation for their benefit. This can lead to customer confusion, loss of business, and costly legal battles.
By renewing with us, you ensure that our expert team continues to protect your business name across the UK, giving you peace of mind and the freedom to focus on growing your business. Don’t let your investment in your brand and reputation go unprotected – renew your Business Name Protection today to stay secure and confident in the market.
