Step 1 of 5 · Business name

What name do you want searched?

A NUANS report compares your proposed name against existing corporate names, business names and trademarks across Canada, and reserves it for 90 days.

Leave off the legal ending. Enter the distinctive part of the name, such as Westwind Landscaping. We add the ending (Ltd., Inc., Corp.) that fits what the name is for.

The exact spelling you want. Capitalization and punctuation are included in the search.

If your first choice comes back too similar to an existing name, we search this one before contacting you. A second search is a separate report and fee — we will confirm with you first.

This decides which name endings are checked and how the report is prepared.

Helps our staff judge whether a similar name is really a conflict.
