Hello everyone

I am applying for a MIP license and planning to be a sole trader. One thing I am not sure of is a Trading Name or a Business Name. Am I allow to use a trading name rather than my own name for my business? if the answer is yes, do I need to register with Companies House?
Anyone can untied my knot would be appreciated

Also, any MIP in Vale of Glamorgan area would like to be my professional cover? I don't think I will have more than 6 clients from now to 31/3/09 but it would be essential to have one. Thanks

    You don't need to register with Companies House unless you are a limited company.

    I believe as long as it doesn't cause confusion with any other business you can call yourself what you want.

    Thanks Jan, but would I be in trouble in using a trading name that might be LTD registered or even trade mark registered say in couple of months time?
