How do I register my architectural practice in the UK even though its not RIBA certified? Can one do that, ie set up an architect's office without having to register the practice with RIBA but still own the name of the practice and run an office with an accountant?

Ajay the RIBA have protected the title of Architect with tremendous fervour and it is not possible to set up a registered architectural practice in the UK using the title 'Architect,' unless as John has mentioned you are ARB accredited, however I have seen practices of 'designers,' and unregistered practitioners set up design firms calling themselves consultancies specialising in, 'Architectural Services.' An alternative to this is to have a business partner that is an RIBA registered architect and set up together that way. Del
