| The
essential difference between registering a Business Name and
registering a company is Limited Liability - Registering a
Business Name does NOT give the operators of the business
the benefits of limited liability - a very important feature
in business which allows the operators of the business to
ring-fence the business as a separate legal entity and safeguards
the operators personal assets.
Also
business names are not Name-Protected by the Companies Office,
that is - anyone can register any name they want. This is
often a reason why many people form a Company as Company Names
are protected by the Companies Office, preventing other people
from registering a company under the same name.
Registering
a Business Name through ourselves costs € 85 plus VAT

Specifically,
registration of a business name is required if:
an individual
uses a business name which differs in any way from his/her true
surname. It makes no difference whether the individuals first
name or initials are added. So registration is required if,
for example, Mr. John Murphy traded as Murphy Builders but not
if he traded as Murphy or John Murphy);
a
firm uses a business name which differs in any way from the
true names of all partners who are individuals and the corporate
names of all partners which are bodies corporate;
a company
uses a business name which differs in any way from its full
corporate name;
a person
having a place of business in the State carries on the business
of publishing a newspaper.
