Business names are not registered under the Companies Act nor with any government department. However, the Business Names Act 1985 gives the Secretary of State certain control over the name you choose for your business and what you must tell others about the ownership of the business.
In addition, some words and expressions are controlled by other laws and the use of one of these words could constitute a criminal offence.

Institute or Institution – we normally only approve these words for those organisations which are carrying out research at the highest level or to professional bodies of the highest standing. You will need to show us that there is a need for the proposed institute and that it has appropriate regulations or examination standards. You will need evidence of support from other representative and independent bodies.
