  • How Do I Obtain a NUANS Report?
    1. Choose the jurisdiction.
    2. Enter your desired business name.
    3. Select a legal suffix if required, or choose a blank option if none is needed.
    4. Provide at least one distinctive term for your name.
    5. Enter your email address.
    6. Complete payment and receive your report via email.
  • What Is a NUANS Report Used For?
    A NUANS Report checks whether a proposed business name or trademark is available and not already in use. It helps:
    • Confirm that your chosen name is unique before registering a business or applying for a trademark.
    • Avoid potential legal issues by identifying similar or identical names.
    • Meet Canadian requirements for corporate name registration or trademark applications.
    • The report also provides a list of similar names, helping you assess whether your chosen name is safe to proceed with.
  • What Are the Differences Between the Available Reports?
    We provide all types of NUANS reports tailored to specific jurisdictions (Province/Territory/Federal).
    1. Provincial/Territorial Reservation Reports
      • Includes: Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Northwest Territories, Prince Edward Island.
      • These reports are used to reserve business names within specific provinces or territories, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
    2. Federal Reservation Report
      • For registering a corporation at the federal level in Canada. This report checks name availability across all provinces and territories.
    3. Trademark Reports
      • Trademark Regular Report : Searches for similar names and trademarks to confirm the uniqueness of your proposed mark.
      • Trademark Detailed Report (80 citations) : A more comprehensive version, providing up to 80 citations of similar names or trademarks for deeper analysis.
  • What Will I Receive for This Service?
    Our Instant NUANS service delivers the specific report you select. After completing payment, the report will be sent immediately to the email address provided in the form. Note that the report will be sent to the email entered in the form, not the billing email.
  • Tips for Choosing a Strong Business Name
    1. Include a Distinctive Term
      Make your business name stand out with an acronym (e.g., BLF Solutions), invented word (e.g., Buvvy Limited), family name (e.g., Crystal Cleaning), or uncommon phrase (e.g., Luminous Razor Inc.). Avoid generic or overused terms.
    2. Add a Descriptive Term
      Combine the distinctive term with a word that explains your business activities, such as "Luminous Razor Software" for tech or "Crystal Bakery" for food.
    3. Avoid Popular or Confusing Terms
      Don’t use well-known brand names, trademarks, or terms that suggest affiliation with another business (e.g., "Apple" for tech or "Coca" for beverages) unless authorized.
    4. Avoid Misleading Terms
      Ensure your name doesn’t mislead the public about your business’s purpose, structure, or status. Examples:
      • “Blessed Intentions 4 Christ Inc.” may be rejected for implying non-profit status.
      • “Crystal & Co.” as a sole proprietorship may be rejected for suggesting multiple owners unless it’s a partnership.
    5. Avoid Restricted or Prohibited Terms
      Stay away from terms that imply illegal affiliations (e.g., "Royal Investment Bank"), government ties (e.g., "Federal" or "Crown"), professional titles without authorization (e.g., "Engineering Experts"), or offensive language.
    6. Include a Legal Suffix, if Required
      Add a suffix like Inc., Ltd., or Corp. if necessary for your business type. These indicate your legal structure and ensure compliance.
  • What Is a Distinctive Term?
    A distinctive term makes your business name unique and sets it apart from competitors offering similar goods or services. It’s the most critical part of your name. A descriptive term, on the other hand, clarifies what your business does.
    Examples:
    • Proposed Name: STACEY'S FLOWERS BOUTIQUE
      Distinctive Term: STACEY'S
      Descriptive Term: FLOWERS BOUTIQUE
    • Proposed Name: FAST STOP CONVENIENCE STORE
      Distinctive Term: FAST STOP
      Descriptive Term: CONVENIENCE STORE
