NUANS Report or Name Search

In order to register a company, and in many cases a business name, sole proprietorship or partnership in Canada you will be required to provide a NUANS report or a name search report specific to that province.

These name search reports allow the government to ensure the name has not been taken by another business.  Most provinces and territories take name granting seriously. Having a distinct and descriptive name is very important.

It is advisable to have your proposed name pre-cleared BEFORE you order the name search report to ensure the name will be acceptable to the government.  Our service includes FREE preliminary name searches with every purchase.
