1. Is it necessary to have two words in a company name?
No, it is NOT mandatory to have two words in a company name.
A company name can be a single word or multiple words, as long as it follows the naming guidelines prescribed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
2. Rules for Company Names (as per MCA guidelines):
The name should not be identical or similar to an existing company or trademark.
Should not be undesirable or offensive.
Should reflect the object of the company if possible.
For Private Limited companies, the name should end with "Private Limited" or "Pvt Ltd".
The name should not include words that require government approval unless you have such approval (e.g., "Bank", "National", "Stock Exchange").
No restriction on number of words.
3. Examples:
Valid: Z Pvt Ltd (single-word name)
Valid: ZX Pvt Ltd (two-letter name)
Valid: Z X Pvt Ltd (three-word name)
4. Tips:
Short names like "Z Pvt Ltd" might be harder to get approval if they clash with existing names or trademarks.
Unique and meaningful names have better chances of approval.
