FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS A TRADE NAME?
A trade name, also known as an assumed name, refers to the name under which a business operates which might not be the official registered name of the company. Here are some key things to know about trade names:
- A trade name is not the same as the legal registered name of a business entity. It’s simply the name that the business uses or trades under on a daily basis.
- Trade names allow businesses to create branding and an identity that is separate from the owner’s personal name.
- Registration of a trade name provides notice to the public of how a business represents itself.
- In Zimbabwe, trade names need to be registered with the Companies Registry.
- The same rules that apply to registering company names apply to registering trade names.
- Using a trade name requires the owner to always indicate the legal business name as well when signing contracts and other legal documents.
ARE TRADE NAMES REGISTERED IN ZIMBABWE?
Yes, trade names are required to be registered with the Companies Registry. Here are some key points about trade name registration:
- In Zimbabwe , trade names are registered with the Companies Registry.
- Registration provides public notice that the business operates under an assumed name and prevents others from using a confusingly similar name.
- Once approved, the trade name is added to the Companies Registry register/database that anyone can search to check name availability or view ownership details.
- When you register a trade name you will receive a certificate of assumed name.
So in summary, registration establishes public notice and priority of use, preventing unauthorized copying of the assumed business name. It is compulsory in Zimbabwe.
