Description

You will need to Obtain name approval if you want to register a Named Company in BC.

In order to incorporate a named company (as opposed to a numbered company), a NUANS® name search must first be conducted to check the availability of the desired name.

If the name you have selected is confusingly similar to another company’s name or contains words that are not permitted, there is a good possibility that the government will reject your desired name.

A NUANS® report reserves your name for 90 days. It does not make a decision as to whether the name is approved, but is the report that will be used to determine approval.

NUANS® searches can be nationwide (Federal) or specific to a particular province, with the exception of Quebec which has its own database. Please purchase a Quebec name search if you are registering in Quebec.
