Changing business name?

[Melanie89]

I currently rent a desk in a hairdressers doing nails and decided at the start i would just go as Nails @ Sphere basically because i was brain dead when it came to thinking of my own name, now i have one id like to use and wonder how i go about changing. Can i just phone HMRC and they will change it for me? the only other thing id need to change is my business account, would that just be a case of phoning also? its a pain in the bum but its my own fault for not doing it at the start! any help would be appreciated

Just tell your bank your new name and they'll give you a new account and close your old one. When you get your next self assessment form from HMRC there's a box where you can inform them of your new business name
