    Nope. Tried this earlier this year with a company I dissolved 7 years ago.

    I disolved a company 3 years ago - browsing Companies House records- I notice someone has started up a new company with the same name - so I believe the answer is yes
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      I was clearly given duff information then. I did what someone earlier suggested and just choose a similar name.

        Provided the company has been struck off the register at Companies House, the name can be used again.

            Anyone using them is just begging for an audit IMO.

              The only concern my accountant had was whether the previous company had dissolved owing money. Using the same name could leave to problems as the company was only dissolved 18 months ago.

              Its a great name and I couldnt resist Beating Moustached Bean Eating Bedsit Living Ruskies Ltd.

              God knows who had it before???

                    Well I've registered a new Ltd company using the name of a dissolved company. Its a great name.

                      This is far more appropriate:

                      BODGET & SCARPER (CONTRACTORS) LIMITED
                      20 HIGHFIELD ROAD
                      KEYWORTH
                      NOTTINGHAMSHIRE
                      NG12 5JE
                      Company No. 01485968

                      Damn I wish I had that
