Not sure, about the acts. But YES, you can apply for arms in the name of your company, however Retainer name should also be named in the license. Retainer is a person who will use/hold the arms and oblige the law (e.g- renewal of arms license, purchase/sell ammo and arms, deposit etc).

Yes a company or firm can apply for arms license and its employ be made a retainer under the Arms Act 1959. For the purpose of law, a company or firm is also a "person" i.e. legal/juristic person.
