NUANS Report & Business Name Search
Order a NUANS Report, Name Reservation, Trademark Search, or Business Name Pre-Search — on their own, whenever you need one.
Before registering a business name in Canada, most jurisdictions require proof that the name isn't already in use. Federal incorporation and a handful of provinces (Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, PEI) accept a NUANS Report for this. Other provinces and territories require a Name Reservation / Pre-Approval instead. We also offer a Trademark Search Report to check the Canadian trademark database, and a quick Business Name Pre-Search for an early, informal check.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to incorporate through SimplyfyBiz to order a report?
No. These are standalone products — order a name search report on its own, then use it wherever you're registering your business, including with another provider.
Which provinces accept a NUANS Report?
Federal, Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island. Other provinces and territories require a Name Reservation / Pre-Approval instead — we'll only show you the option valid for your jurisdiction.
How is a Trademark Search different from a NUANS Report?
A NUANS Report checks corporate/business name registries. A Trademark Search checks the Canadian trademark database for conflicting registered trademarks — a separate legal concern from business name registration.
How long does it take to receive my report?
Once your order and payment are confirmed, our team prepares and delivers your report directly to your SimplyfyBiz dashboard.
