England word cup squad reserve LTD company names

With over 7 thousand new Limited companies registered at Companies House each week it is essential to ensure that your chosen name is not taken. The following world cup footballers have safeguarded their names as limited companies even though they are not yet trading with them:

•       ROBERT GREEN LIMITED
•       JOHN TERRY LIMITED
•       MICHAEL CARRICK LIMITED
•       DAVID BECKHAM LIMITED
•       THE DAVID BECKHAM ACADEMY LLP
•       THEO WALCOTT LIMITED

You can find out more information on these companies by down loading reports from our website http://www.duport.co.uk/credit-reports/order.php

It’s important for all companies, even those that have not considered a LTD status, to protect the company name. Not only do you guarantee that your name is available should you need to make the transition you will also prevent anybody else from using it.

 It is easy to keep a non trading company at Companies House. You can register the name through us and keep the company dormant by completing simple filing (we can help you) at Companies House. Alternatively you can use our reserve a name service and we will act as your director and complete your paperwork for as long as required.  For more information visit our register a company page http://www.duport.co.uk/company-formation/ or call the office.

I have found plenty of interesting company names, that appear to be related to a fun business, but I’m afraid I couldn’t find any information on the web to back this up. I am astonished at the number of companies that appear not to have any Internet presence. 

Many of these companies have been established for several years and clearly do not have a web marketing strategy. I do understand that is not a priority for every business. Although, I was shocked at just how difficult it was to find any information, other than credit reports for sale, on the Internet about these businesses.  

Whatever your business does, I strongly believe, that you should have at least a basic website explaining what you do so that anyone searching for you, through Companies House, can contact you. 

I am afraid that I have limited time so here are a few companies that amused me. The final three made it onto this list, despite not having a website, as I am embarrassed about the lack of content here!

Fancyapint Ltd

The website claims “Every pub listed here has been visited by Fancyapint.com”. I bet they never have recruitment problems although I do wonder about the number of sick days? 

Mystery shoppers Limited

I took this except from their website: 

“We’ve set up plumbing blockages and car faults. We’ve cheated in exams (to check the invigilators are alert), parked illegally (to test the council’s parking wardens), shoplifted (to check the security systems) and gone on timeshare holidays. We’ve parked bicycles to see how quickly they get stolen (quickest was 75 minutes – in Croydon).

We’ve been pregnant, bankrupt, hard-of-hearing, teenagers looking for contraception, pensioners buying insurance and trainee teachers. We’ve recruited Chinese gamblers, housing tenants, disabled mystery shoppers and males to take the last dance at a lap-dancing club (to ensure nothing is occurring which contravenes the licence).” 

The chocolate tasting club LTD

Their website boasts “we’ve tasted well over 1,500 different recipes”. Not even I can compete with that!

Naturists limited

I would love to spend a day as a telephone rep for these guys…

“The Naturist Action Group campaigns for naturism in Britain, seeking better facilities and more locations where nude recreation is accepted.”

The stunt company LTD

This certainly sounds like fun but I couldn’t find a website!

Wine tasting company LTD

I searched against numerous wine companies at Companies House but struggled to find any matching websites.

Rent a husband LTD

I am assuming this an excellent company name for a handy man service but again I couldn’t find a website.

Does anyone know any fun companies, as this list needs improving?

I claim not to be superstitious or a believer in fate. In our society most of us are presented with lots of opportunities and it’s what we make of these that determine how successful we will be.

However, most of us will admit to little rituals and faiths from lucky items to lucky numbers.  As rational as I believe I am I always “touch wood” when I have an unpleasant thought, plead to an unknown power that all will be OK and here’s something really crazy, I have an unlucky bra!

Whether there really is some other divine intervention or simply a self fulfilling prophesy its best to think positively in all areas of our lives. This includes giving your company a successful name.

To test this hypothesis I checked the names of some dissolved companies at Companies House and here’s what I found:

Bad company LTD

The rubbish company LTD

Poor us bank LTD

Lose a lot trading LTD

Jinxed limited LTD

Stupid Limited LTD

Stupid productions LTD

Gone bust again LTD

Gone LTD

Unfit productions LTD

Unfit business LTD

I thought these dissolved LTD company names were quite ironic

Bankruptcy advice bureau LTD

Bankruptcy advice centre LTD

Bankruptcy help desk LTD

Bankruptcy support LTD

Bankruptcy options LTD

Disaster management LTD

Ridiculously talented  LTD

My conclusion, start as you mean to go on.

I am curious what superstitious behaviour do you admit to doing?
