Read Before Purchasing:
Federal NUANS Reports: The federal government is extremely fussy and difficult to obtain a name clearance from. In order to have a better chance of knowing in advance whether a name is going to be accepted, it is suggested that a name decision report be obtained in advance of registering your company. Our search house is familiar with the procedures and will have the ability to have a higher chance of having your name accepted first time round.
Sole Proprietorships/Operating Trade Names/Partnerships: A nuans report is not required in Alberta and Ontario for the registration of a sole proprietorship, operating trade name or partnership. You can order an Ontario NUANS or Alberta NUANS if you wish, however, keep in mind that we will do a preliminary name search BEFORE we order the NUANS report to ensure the name is available. These types of registrations do not have legal endings. Choose N/A for the legal ending when completing the questionnaire.
