Frequently asked questions
What is a trade name?
A trade name is the official name under which a company chooses to do business. For example, a company legally registered as ‘Goodhope Enterprises (Private) Limited’ may choose to trade as ‘Goodhope’ which will be their trade name. A trade name is also known as an assumed name in Zimbabwe.
Is a trade name the same as a trademark?
A trade name and a trademark are distinctly different from a legal perspective. A trade name is the official name under which a company chooses to do business. On the other hand, a trademark offers companies legal protection for a particular brand, which may be associated with a trade name. A trademark can be associated with or it can be part of your trade name and can be used to provide legal protection for the use of names ,logos, symbols, or company slogans.
Is it necessary to register a trade name?
If your company is using a trade name, yes it is necessary. It is an important step in branding for a company and it provides a brand name or legal protection for the use of the name. Also the introduction of the Companies and Other Business Entities Act Chapter (24:32) has required that every company registers its trade name; if not registered, the name will be available to the public for registration by anyone who wants to use that name and once registered the individual has legal ground to stop you from using that name.
Do trade names end with ‘LTD’ or Limited?
No, they do not end with ‘ltd’ or limited. The ‘ltd’ is only found on the original registered company name.
How long does it take to register my trade name?
It will take up to 9-12 working days depending on the workload at the registry.
What do I receive after I register a trade name?
You will receive a certificate of assumed name.
