NUANS Name Reservation

A NUANS Report, is a vital document required for incorporating a business in Canada, specifically in jurisdictions like Ontario. It serves as a comprehensive name search tool that checks for existing companies with similar names and assists the relevant authority in approving or rejecting your chosen business name. 

​

The report is mandatory when incorporating federally or in specific provinces like Ontario, and it has a 90-day validity period during which you must complete the incorporation process.

To maximize the effectiveness of your name search, a pre-search tool is available to explore available names and identify potential competitors before committing to a formal name reservation.
