How to Improve the Chances of Approval?
1. Choose a Name That Reflects the Business
- The company name should be distinctive
- And clearly reflect the nature of the business
- For example:
- Home appliance company: ABC Home Appliances
- Logistics company: Fast Move Logistics
2. Use a Brand or Founder's Name
- A company may use its brand name or the founder's name as the company name
- This makes the name easy to remember and helps build brand identity
3. Avoid Restricted Words
- Avoid restricted words such as:
- Royal
- Government
- These words usually require special approval which may delay the registration process
4. Prepare Several Alternative Names
- Prepare multiple company name options
- In case the preferred name is already registered or does not meet SSM's requirements
5. Check the Name Before Applying
- Before submitting the application search the proposed company name on the SSM website
- This helps confirm that the name is still available and avoids unnecessary delays
Summary
- A company name that is simple, clear, distinctive, and relevant to the business
- Is generally more likely to be approved by SSM.
