Purchase includes one Nuans Name Search Report or a Name Search Report applicable to the province or territory you are registering in, which can be for a proposed company registration, business name registration, sole proprietorship,  partnership registration or an extraprovincial registration.

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 before 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.  These types of registrations do not have legal endings.  Choose N/A for the legal ending when completing the questionnaire.
