Benefits of Business Name Change

• In the case of mergers and acquisitions. When two companies become one, they have to adopt one of the old names, combine the two or develop a new name.
• Times change and business names change with them - meaning that whenever a company recognizes that the landscape of the industry changes it might have to change its core business and with it its name.
• A Change of Name might be part of a change in Corporate Branding Strategy. For Example, a company might decide to compete on the lowest price in the industry and change their name to a name that highlights good value for money.
• Sometimes names could be much easier and consumer friendly (especially for internationally expanding companies where language barriers might cause problems).
• Company names are subject to fashion and might therefore have to be changed (think for example of the dot.com bubble. After the bubble burst, many companies changed their name to names less associated with the digital hype. In more recent years there has been a tendency to "become Greener" which has been reflected in the names of several companies around the world.
