Corporation's Name & Address

For a Named Corporation, a NUANS Report is required to verify the uniqueness of your proposed business name and ensure it doesn't conflict with existing businesses. We will carefully check to confirm that your chosen name isn't already in use by other companies.

For a Numbered Corporation, your company name will consist of a unique number generated by government registries, followed by a legal ending. For example, '1234567 Canada Inc.' would be a typical numbered corporation name.
