Register a limited liability company
How to register a limited liability company in myRegistry.
Log in to myRegistry, select 'start new submission' and select 'register limited liability company’ from the list.
Limited liability company name
You can choose either a reserved name or a proposed name to start your limited liability company registration.
Reserved name
If you have reserved your limited liability company name and it has been registered, select 'reserved name' and enter your reserved name / number. If entering the reserved number you must start with 'RN'.
Proposed name
To register a limited liability company without using a reserved name, select 'proposed name'. Selecting this option may extend the time it takes to process the registration, whilst the proposed name is reviewed. We aim to complete the processing within the selected service level but may take up to one additional day to complete the name review.
