Influence of company name change
What will happen if the company changes its name? After an enterprise changes its name, it needs to change the company name on the business license first. To apply for changing the name of an enterprise, an application shall be submitted to the competent registration authority, and then an Application for Change of Enterprise Registration shall be filled out, and the following documents and materials shall be submitted: (1) Report on application for change of enterprise name (reasons shall be given for application for change of enterprise name); (2) A copy of the business license of the enterprise (the certification seal of the issuing authority shall be affixed); (3) Articles of association of the enterprise; (4) Other documents and materials stipulated by the enterprise name registration authority. The change of enterprise name does not mean the change of company entity. The change of enterprise name is equivalent to the change of natural person name. Although the name has changed, its subject will not disappear because of the name change. Therefore, the change of enterprise name does not belong to the change of the subject of labor relations, and the enterprise cannot take this as a reason not to undertake obligations. The change of enterprise name has no influence on the contract signed by the enterprise. It is expressly stipulated in the law that the changed company shall inherit the rights and obligations of the original company according to law, that is, inherit the contract between the original company and you. The creditor's rights and debts of the company are inherited by the renamed company.
