Trade Name Reservation
Trade Name Reservation secures your preferred business name with the Department of Economic Development before someone else takes it, and before it becomes a blocker later in your setup. Lucky Hands checks availability, prepares your options, and reserves the name so the rest of your formation can move forward.
What's Included
- Availability guidance on your preferred names
- Preparation and submission of the reservation request
- Handling of naming-rule considerations that can cause rejections
- Confirmation of the reserved name for use in your licensing
Who Needs This
You have a business name in mind and want it locked in early.
You are mid-setup and a name reservation is holding up your licence.
A previous name choice was rejected and you want it handled properly this time.
How It Works
Shortlist
We take your preferred names and sense-check them against the naming rules.
Submit
We submit the reservation request with the strongest option first.
Reserve
We confirm the reservation so it is ready to attach to your licence application.
What You'll Need
- Three trade-name options in order of preference
- Your intended business activity
- Shareholder details
- We will flag any name that is likely to fall foul of the naming rules before submitting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need three name options?
Names can be rejected for rules around trademarks, restricted words, or duplication. A short list means we can move straight to your next choice instead of starting over.
How long does a reservation stay valid?
Reservations are held for a limited period set by the authority; we will confirm the current validity window and make sure you use it before it lapses.
Can you reserve the name without doing my whole setup?
Yes. Trade name reservation can be a standalone service, and we are happy to hand it over cleanly for you to continue elsewhere.
