Trading as

[Gaz_M]

Simple question but I've seen both answers online so I'm hoping you experts can clarify.

If my Limited Co is called ABC Limited and I set up a business within this (say XYZ) then is it...

a) ABC Ltd trading as XYZ
or
b) XYZ trading as ABC Ltd?

Normally you put a but you can also put something like "XZY is a trading name of ABC ltd" I was going to give you a company I know who trades under a different name but they have changed their website.

That was one of the articles I read but again, it's not exactly clear what the correct answer is.

I read in to that thread there isn't a correct one.

Its never (B) as XYZ is not trading as ABC Ltd? Plain English...

Either your (a) or XYZ is a trading name of ABC Ltd? as SueEllen suggested.

Accordng to this :"Trading As" – Company and Business Names | The Company Warehouse Blog - Company Formation and Business Startup Advice

It becomes ABC Ltd trading as XYZ. Where XYZ is subject to the same restrictions as a regular company name.

As NLUK indicated there is no correct way of doing it.

All people who find your business/who you invoice need to know is the company name and company number your trading name is registered under.

Crunch Accountancy linky do it the second way I mentioned.
