Funding towards an IP Audit could be available for your business.

If you’re a business in Wales, you may be eligible for UK IPO funding towards the cost of a professional IP Audit.

An IP Audit can help you understand what intellectual property your business owns, identify potential gaps or risks, and make sure the value you’ve built is properly protected.

We’ve put together a short guide explaining how the funding works, who may be eligible and what an IP Audit involves.

You can buy a domain name for £8.99.

You can register a company on Companies House for £12.

You can set up a social media handle for free.

None of them protect your brand.

Here's what that means in practice:

If someone else registers your brand name as a trade mark in your sector — today, tomorrow, next week — they could legally demand you stop using it. Even if you've been trading under that name for years. Even if you registered it as a company. Even if you own the domain.

A registered trade mark is the only thing that gives you the exclusive legal right to use a name commercially in your category.

And the cost of getting one? Far less than most people assume. Far, far less than the cost of a rebrand, a legal dispute, or lost customers during a forced name change.

The businesses that get into difficulty aren't the ones who didn't care about their brand. They're the ones who assumed they were already protected — because they'd done everything else right.

If you're not certain your name is protected, it's worth taking five minutes to check.

We offer a free initial conversation — no obligation, no pressure, just clarity.

Is someone else trading off your brand?

You've put years of hard work into building your business — your name, your reputation, your identity.

So when another business starts using something similar — whether that's copying your brand name, selling knock-offs on Amazon or eBay, or even hijacking your business name online — it's not just frustrating. It can cause real, lasting damage.

The truth is, trademark infringement is more common than most people realise. And it's not just a big brand problem.

We regularly help small and medium-sized businesses who've discovered their brand is being used without permission — on social media, online marketplaces, competitor websites, and even as a registered domain name.

If any of this sounds familiar, here's what we want you to know:

✅ You have rights — even if you're not sure what they are yet
✅ There are steps you can take — and the earlier you act, the better
✅ A conversation with us costs nothing — and it might be the most valuable call you make this year

At Tennant IP, we're Chartered Trade Mark Attorneys based in Wales. We help business owners understand what they have, what's at risk, and what they can do about it.

If someone is trading off your brand — or you're not sure whether they are — get in touch. We're here to help.
