Guidelines – Quebec Sole-Proprietorship

You can register an English version of your French name. In Quebec names must be French and can have an English version.

You will need to file annual returns for your sole proprietorship/ partnership in order to keep it active. It isn’t a “renewal” per say, just an annual return.

A name search is not required if you are using only your personal name. However, a name search is required if you choose to register a trade name in addition to your personal name.

We will send you a copy of your file by email as soon as it is published by the Quebec Registry Office.
