Choosing company name, Do I include 'Ltd' in the name?

[mapother]

Sorry for the trivial question, but I am about to set up a Ltd company myself online and I want to make sure I am doing it right.

When registering a company do I actually have to put 'Ltd' or 'Limited' in the name or is that added automatically?

I just dont want to end up with something like ...Mycompnay Limited Limited

[Craig@Clarity]

It will be added automatically if you miss it out or if you add Limited when setting it up, it won't come out as "My Company Limited Limited".

WHS

also make sure you check that your company name is not taken as well as you cant register a company with the same name as one already set up.

Make sure that you indicate 'Limited' in full rather than just 'Ltd' - this gives you the option to abbreviate in the future.

If you use the abbreviated version, you cannot use the full 'limited'.

You can name you company Limited Ltd if it is not taken it would show on companies house as Limited Ltd.

[Greg@CapitalCity]

@dbigalow, Limited Ltd is taken - luckily Limited Limited Ltd is available. Now there's a name that would confuse your friends!

Can I call my company Vandelay Industries Limited?
i.e. can I use the word "industries"?

[Greg@CapitalCity]

@sal626, No you can't sorry. The word 'Industries' is not the problem - the problem is a company already exists with the name "Vandelay Industries Limited".
