Cambio de Denominación social
Los cambios de nombre de una empresa necesitan acudir a notaría para firmar escritura de cambio de denominación social. Esta firma actualmente se puede hacer acudiendo presencialmente a nuestra notaría en la Avenida digital de Barcelona o de forma totalmente digital, sin desplazamientos y desde cualquier punto de España, a través del Portal Notarial del Ciudadano.
Como Notarios en Barcelona especializados en servicios mercantiles, queremos explicar qué es y cómo se realiza el cambio de nombre social paso a paso, así como aportar información suplementaria sobre el proceso a realizar.
¿Qué es el cambio de denominación social?
El cambio de denominación social es la modificación del nombre que utiliza una sociedad y este cambio exige cumplir las reglas establecidas en el Texto Refundido de la Ley de Sociedades de Capital.
La Ley de Sociedades de Capital indica que el nombre debe ser único y diferente a otras sociedades. Este nombre será el que aparezca en todos los documentos legales, burocráticos o en facturas.
El cambio de denominación social, junto al cambio de domicilio social y de objeto social se encuentran entre las modificaciones más relevantes de una sociedad e implican la necesidad de modificación de los estatutos sociales.
Para conseguirlo, se deberá tramitar una escritura de denominación social, un documento notarial mediante el cual se modifica el nombre legal de una sociedad. Tras ello, debe inscribirse la escritura en el Registro Mercantil. Desde JLA Notarios, como ofrecemos un servicio integral en materia de sociedades, si lo desea, además de tramitar la escritura podemos encargarnos de la inscripción en el Registro.
Motivos para cambiar el nombre a una empresa
El cambio de denominación social obedece al cambio de nombre de una compañía y suele obedecer a razones estratégicas, adaptación del nombre a nuevas modas o gustos o para buscar una expansión internacional, aunque la ley no exige que haya un motivo específico para el cambio de nombre de una sociedad. Lo que la ley exige es que el acuerdo de modificación de nombre se ajuste a la ley de sociedades de capital y que se haga constar en escritura pública.
Pasos para el cambio de denominación social ¿Cómo cambiar el nombre de una empresa?
Te explicamos todo el proceso paso por paso para el cambio de nombre de sociedades.
Si se desea cambiar la denominación social de una empresa, el primer paso será escoger el nombre, que debe cumplir las reglas de los artículos 395 a 419RRM. Le dejamos aquí algunas indicaciones para ayudarle:
Escoger un nombre para la denominación social
El nombre de una sociedad deberá estar formado por letras del alfabeto y si hubiera cifras, deberán ser en guarismos árabes o números romanos. Junto a ellos, además, deberá aparecer el tipo social elegido.
No está permitido incluir expresiones, insultos, expresiones denigrantes o vejatorias ni tampoco el uso de adjetivos como municipal o estatal.
Tampoco se podrán usar nombres de empresas existentes modificando el orden de las palabras, ni añadiéndolas al inicio o al final, o usando palabras y letras que tengan semejanza fonética.
¿Qué es la Denominación subjetiva de una empresa?
En el caso de adoptar el nombre de una persona (denominación subjetiva), la misma deberá consentir en ello, a no ser que se trate de un socio de la empresa. En el caso de que este cese o deje de formar parte de la sociedad, no podrá exigir la retirada del nombre.
¿Qué es la Denominación objetiva de una empresa?
Por ella entendemos los nombres que tienen relación con la actividad social o que no guarde ninguna relación. Si guarda relación con una actividad, no se podrá asignar un nombre que denomine una actividad ajena al objeto social.
Cambio de nombre de sociedad en el Registro
Escogido el nombre, deberá presentar su solicitud en el Registro Mercantil Central, donde se analizará si su nombre coincide o no con otros. Podrá proponer hasta cinco nombres para el cambio de denominación social. Esto es una tarea que puede realizar por usted mismo o a través de su notaría de confianza.
El Registrador mercantil central expedirá en un plazo de tres días, una certificación donde se refleja que no figura el registro de dicha denominación. El Registro reservará su denominación durante 6 meses hasta la inscripción de la escritura de cambio de denominación social. Sin embargo, si en ese período no hubiese sido presentada, la denominación reservada caducará.
Este certificado deberá presentarse en la notaría para otorgar escritura de cambio de denominación, que después deberá inscribirse en el Registro Mercantil.
La escritura de cambio de denominación social se puede tramitar online o en notaría
El papel del Notario en el cambio de nombre de empresa
El Notario es funcionario público y profesional del Derecho, que garantiza el cumplimiento de la ley y la protección de todas las personas firmantes de una escritura.
En el caso de los cambios de denominaciones sociales, el Notario verificará que el cambio de nombre cumple todos los requisitos legales. Tras ello, se podrá firmar en notaría escritura de cambio de denominación social, pudiendo elegir los clientes entre la firma de forma presencial o la firma totalmente digital.
Además, desde JLA Notarios ofrecemos un servicio integral a empresas y sociedades, por lo que, si lo desea, nos podemos encargar de tramitar por usted la inscripción en el Registro Mercantil.
Documentos necesarios para el cambio de denominación social
Serán imprescindibles los siguientes:
- Documento de identificación en vigor del representante que firma la escritura
- Certificación del acuerdo social que decide cambiar de nombre
- Documentación propia de la sociedad y el representante, que puede sustituirse por la obtención de la información mercantil desde la notaría
- Certificación negativa de denominación expedida por el Registro Mercantil Central. En JLA Notarios podemos ayudarle a conseguir este certificado.
¿Cuánto cuesta cambiar de nombre una empresa?
El precio de los actos notariales está regulado por el Gobierno y se ajusta a la normativa reguladora del ARANCEL NOTARIAL (RD 1426/1989, de 17 de noviembre, por el que se regula el Arancel de los Notarios).
No obstante, el precio exacto de un documento notarial no puede calcularse hasta que se conoce su contenido concreto. El número de copias que se pide de un documento, los folios que contiene además de posibles cambios o añadidos pueden variar ligeramente el precio final.
Si desea recibir un presupuesto ajustado a su caso, le invitamos a contactarnos directamente por la vía que le resulte más conveniente. Lo puede hacer a través del formulario de contacto de la página principal de esta web, mediante la sección contactar que encontrará en el pie de página de la web, usando el acceso directo a whatsapp en la parte inferior derecha de esta página, enviando un correo electrónico a bcn@jlanotarios.com o llamándonos al teléfono 93 159 17 62.
De forma orientativa, le podemos adelantar que, de acuerdo a la normativa reguladora vigente, el precio habitual de la formalización ante Notario de un cambio de denominación social es de unos 160 €, incluyendo IVA.
Preguntas frecuentes relacionadas con el cambio de denominación social
El modelo 036 de la Agencia Tributaria corresponde a la normativa de declaración censal de alta, modificación y baja y declaración censal simplificada que usan empresarios y profesionales para iniciar, modificar o dar de baja sus actividades económicas. La declaración de la modificación de denominación social deberá presentarse en el plazo de un mes desde el día siguiente al de la modificación. La no presentación puede recurrir a sanciones.
Ya hemos indicado que, en la propuesta de denominación social, el Registro Mercantil Central reserva la denominación aceptada durante 6 meses. Sin embargo, deberá tenerse en cuenta que el reglamento solo concede 3 meses para la otorgación de la denominación social, ya que la validez del certificado empieza a contar tras su expedición y dura ese período de tiempo.
Son muchas las ocasiones en las que surge esta duda. Ya hemos hablado de la denominación social que pretende identificar a una persona jurídica o a una empresa en los documentos legales. Sin embargo, el nombre comercial es aquella palabra por la que quiere ser conocida. Muchas veces se trata del mismo nombre retirándole las siglas S.L. o S.A. y en otras ocasiones encontramos un nombre completamente diferente.
