Any entity wishing to operate under the provisions of the law must be registered.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The reason is very simple. The chosen name will be used for formal, legal and administrative purposes. Hence the importance of establishing a single denomination. In other words, it is through registration that the legal entity identifies itself with a name that is susceptible to legal rights and obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Registration_keys\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Registration keys<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The body in charge of issuing the corporate name is the Commercial Registry. Once the document is available, it is possible to present it to the notary to incorporate the new company. Or, also, to modify the previous name of an already registered entity. The best way to expedite the process is:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thinking_about_the_name\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Thinking about the name<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The choice of name can be a bit difficult. And there could be a company already registered in this way. For greater efficiency in the designation process, the following recommendations should be considered:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Use two or more words. There is a good chance that by choosing a single one, it is already registered.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Official names and names of towns, municipalities, cities, provinces or autonomous communities shall not be considered as differentiating elements.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>3. It is not allowed to include known brand names.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>4. It is insufficient to differentiate the denomination with another existing denomination based on a letter or number.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>5. It is not allowed to include internet domains (.com, .net .cat&#8230;).<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>6. In case you want to add a number to the denomination, it must be a distinctive element and must indicate information such as street number, year of foundation, etc.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is possible to submit an application with up to five different name variants. Ideally, it is best to exhaust the options on a single occasion so as not to have to repeat the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Company_name_and_trade_name\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Company name and trade name<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34360 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Denominacion-social-y-nombre-comercial.jpg\" alt=\"Company name and trade name\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Denominacion-social-y-nombre-comercial.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Denominacion-social-y-nombre-comercial-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Denominacion-social-y-nombre-comercial-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Denominacion-social-y-nombre-comercial-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Denominacion-social-y-nombre-comercial-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Denominacion-social-y-nombre-comercial-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cbleon-abogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Denominacion-social-y-nombre-comercial-760x507.jpg 760w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For many people, the corporate name and the trade or brand name are the same. The truth is that the two reasons do not necessarily coincide. This is due to the fact that they have different fields of action.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The corporate name is used exclusively in all legal transactions. On the other hand, the trade name or trademark is used in advertising and marketing elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Abbreviations_of_the_main_social_forms\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Abbreviations of the main social forms<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">All corporate names are written by combining the desired name followed by its corporate form. Some prefer to use abbreviations instead of the full designation. Among the main existing social forms are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>S.A., abbreviation for corporation.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>S.L. or S.R.L., abbreviation for limited liability company.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>S.C. or S.R.C., abbreviation for partnership.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>S.
