Change your company name
Plan a legal name change for a Mexican company, from reviewing the proposed name and corporate approval to updating tax and other records.
Changing the legal company name
A company’s registered legal name is distinct from the name it uses in advertising. A change to the legal name involves reviewing the proposed name and the company’s approval documents, then working through the records that identify the entity.
Name and corporate approval
Review availability and authorization for the proposed name, the governing documents and how the company will record the decision.
Companies with basic registrations
Identify which corporate, registry, RFC and banking records use the current name.
Companies with employees or special registrations
Check for additional updates involving IMSS, payroll registrations, permits or product certifications, depending on the company’s activities.
Planning steps
Plan the name change
Inventory the current records
Collect the corporate documents and list the registrations and accounts that show the current legal name.
Prepare the proposed change
Review the new name with the relevant authority and prepare the corporate decision for signature and formalization.
Coordinate follow-up updates
Review each applicable tax, registry, employer and bank record after the corporate change.
