Of course. Our agency has direct access to the federal name database and provincial government name database. All reports are valid and can be verified with Industry Canada.

If you are incorporating a federal corporation, you must choose "federal" as your jurisdiction. However, if you are registering for a provincial business or corporation, then select your jurisdiction accordingly.

A name must have two elements. A distinctive (unique) element, that can't be common or popular English words. It should be a unique name or made up words. Second part is the descriptive element that normally describes the organization. The name may or may not have suffix (no obligation) such as foundation, association, institute, society etc.

If your purpose is to use this name to incorporate (limited liability company), choose any one of the legal suffix. All of them have same legal meaning, choice is for appearance purpose only. If your purpose is to use this name for sole proprietorship or master business license or trade name/business name registration or non-profit organization, choose the option "none".

Only one or two major activities should be sufficient. The description could be very brief (in a single line).

A NUANS® Report having exact conflict or partially conflict with an existing name won't work. In such case, you have to order again a new report with an alternative name. This process will continue until you get a successful report. The process costs money and time. To avoid this problem, government has introduced the pre-search system in the name database.

If any presence of illegal or prohibited element, our specialist will contact you and advise on how to avoid it. If you have knowledge on the guidelines and regulations of business name rules, you may not need this service, otherwise we recommend it.
