You can be 5 Clippy Ltd. trading as Five Clippy. You wouldn't normally put the Ltd. as part of your logo anyway, so I can't imagine there's any issue with Five Clippy in big letters, then 5 Clippy Ltd. in small letters at the bottom.
What are Channel 5 really called?

Also, could having two versions of your company name appear confusing to your clients?

Originally posted by Clippy View PostMy Ltd company name has a number in it, for example, 5 Clippy Ltd and this is how it was incorporated with Co's House.
Can I legally refer to my company as Five Clippy Ltd?
Reason for asking is I am looking into getting some stationery printed and was considering my options.
No its not legal. If your co is registered as 5 Clippy etc, then that's the name you should use on any business literature.
However, it would be extremely doubtful if any action was taken against you for using Five Clippy on printed stationary.

I don't think you can - of course the companies house search doesn't work on a Sunday....
I've just searched for myco (which has a spellt number in the name) and found it, but searching for the number brought back nothing from something similar to the companies house search.
I'd get it printed as per the name, if it were me.

Yes, do a search at Co Ho on both names and it should list the same Co.
