Business Name Search - NUANS search & Nuans Report
A
NUANS (Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search) is a mandatory
submission to incorporate a company anywhere in Canada when
you are requesting a named corporation (e.g. ABCDEF Investments
Ltd.). The Nuans Report is a 7 page report listing the most similar corporations, business names and trade marks to your proposed name.
A preliminary business name search is done prior to ordering the NUANS report to search for business name availability. This is done as a precautionary measure to see if the name that you are requesting infringes on any businesses already in existence throughout Canada. The listed price below includes searching up to three names.
In Ontario alone, there are almost 2 million corporations registered. This number does not include the existing small businesses and trademarks that have been established.
Providing a name that is unique and distinctive to you and your line of business is crucial. A corporate name should have a distinctive element and a descriptive element to separate it from existing names.
Nuans reports are valid for 90 days and are required for a named corporation filing in any province or territory of Canada, including a Federal Incorporation in accordance with the Corporations Act. With each request, we will conduct preliminary name searches to determine if the name is available before incurring the cost of the report. It is ultimately the clients’ decision whether to proceed with the name. Discussions or comments that took place by Ontario Business Central or its employees are not considered a legal opinion, they are only to provide assistance in your name decision process.
