In Canada, a NUANS® name search is one of the first steps toward incorporating a business. In order to qualify for incorporation, a company needs to verify that the business name they desire to do business is available.

Every province in Canada requires a NUANS® name search for incorporation, except for Quebec. Quebec has its own database, which companies are required to use. Nevertheless, if you wish to incorporate federally in Quebec, the NUANS® name search is once again mandatory.

Applying for a NUANS® name search is rather straightforward. Once the business name search is complete, a report is generated that needs to be referenced in your incorporation paperwork. Typically, the process takes only a few hours if purchased during business hours and your reservation is valid for 90 days.

At IncorpDirect Inc., applicants can purchase a NUANS® report individually or as a part of their incorporation packages.
