Do I need to perform a NUANS® name search to verify if my name is available?
Can I register more than one business name to my sole-proprietorship?
How quickly will I receive confirmation of my registration?
How is my registration sent to me? What happens if I misplace it?
A NUANS® is not required, however if you register the name and it is already incorporated you could be asked to change your name. A name search before registration is advisable. We will perform a name search at no additional cost prior to registration.
Each business name requires a separate Master Business License. You can have more than one but will require one application per name.
Your registration will be completed within a few hours if purchased during business hours.
We will send your Master Business License in PDF format by email. This will be your only copy so retain for your records. If you misplace the MBL document the Ontario Ministry will not be able to replace it.
