Free tool · Name rules

    Check your company name against CIPA's naming rules.

    We can't query CIPA's live database (it isn't public), but we can flag the things they reject most often: prohibited words, missing suffixes, and reserved phrases.

    The rules we check

    • Length between 3 and ~60 characters
    • Allowed characters only (letters, numbers, &, .,'-())
    • Ends with "(Pty) Ltd" or "Proprietary Limited"
    • No restricted words (bank, royal, government, etc.)
    • No reserved phrases (stock exchange, fund manager…)
    • Doesn't start with a number
