NUANS Reports are used to determine the availability of a corporate/business name. In order for you to register or incorporate your business, a NUANS Report is required by the Federal & most provincial governments.
It is valid for 90 days. If the 90-day period has ended, you must order a new Nuans report to submit.
Name pre-search is a kind of name pre-checking process before obtaining a Nuans report. Pre-searches save you time and money by eliminating proposed names with exact matches before you pay for a Nuans report. Let’s explain a bit more. A Nuans report having exact conflict or partially conflict with an existing name, won’t work. In such case, again a new report required with an alternative name. This process will continue until you get a successful name that is free from conflict. The process costs money and time. To avoid this problem, government has introduced the pre-search system in the name database. Therefore, we may conclude that, conducting a pre-search determines whether the Nuans report going to work or not.
Yes, you still need a Nuans report. Web domain searches determine whether a certain url is available or not. Many companies are active in Canada without a website. Moreover, domain name registration is under a different authority while business name registration is under Industry Canada and provincial corporate registries. Your business domain name can be different than your registered business name. Reserving a domain name, does not give any guarantee that such a business name will be approved by government. Therefore, ideally speaking, reserving a domain name is the next process after getting a business name approved. In our agency, you may order a Nuans report and domain together, so we can do these both works together to avoid miss-match of each of them.
Yes. A google search is a general web search and only shows part of Canadian registered business who have online presence. A google search result does not represent a comprehensive search result from Canadian government’s corporate name database. Moreover, a NUANS search report has many other elements that are necessary to determine the name result, whereas a google search doesn’t have those elements.
The descriptive element of a corporate name is the part of the name that indicates the nature of the business of the company (e.g. Starbuck Coffee Shop). The descriptive element can be specific such as “Coffee Shop”, or it can be more general, such as “Enterprises”.
