Change your business name, contact info, or Companies House Registration Number (CRN) in QuickBooks

Learn how to change your company name, contact info, or Companies House Registration Number (CRN) in QuickBooks.

Note: This article is for customers using QuickBooks Online (Advanced, Essentials, Plus, and Simple Start) and QuickBooks Sole Trader.

Change your business info

Keep your business info up to date so customers can identify and contact your business. There are also features in QuickBooks that use your business info to work, so make sure it's accurate.

Note: In some scenarios, it might be best to add another company instead of changing your business info. This keeps your books distinct for tax purposes. This is likely best if you’ll use a different Companies House Registration Number (CRN) for filing.

1. Go to Settings and select Account and settings.
2. Select Company, then ✎ Edit the section you want to update.
3. Select Save, then select Done.

There are also several places you need to update after making changes to your business info. QuickBooks can’t automatically update everything, so you have to manually update them:

Update your default sales form message

When you update your company name, make sure you also update your default sales form message. Otherwise, it’ll continue to use the previous name.

Update your company info for different locations

Note: Location tracking is not available for QuickBooks Sole Trader.

If you use location tracking, and have different business names for different locations, update your custom sales forms by location.
