Named corporation - Search/Reservation Required

Professional Corporation names are normally made up of the name of a shareholder professional practicing through the corporation, along with the corporate identifier Professional Corporation.  In Health Profession Corporations, the name of the profession being practiced by the Professional Corporation must also be included in the name.

Where a named company is being incorporated, you can submit up to three proposed names, in order of preference.  We will then complete a free preliminary corporate name search on each of your proposed names to determine whether any of them appear to be available.  This pre-screen eliminates proposed names with exact matches, thereby saving you time and money.  The first proposed name which appears to be available will then be submitted for a full search or name reservation, as applicable.  If none of your proposed names appear to be available, we will contact you to obtain a new list of proposed names.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

1. The preliminary name search is designed to find exact matches for proposed names. In certain cases, names which are confusingly similar to the proposed name may not appear on the preliminary name search and will only appear on the full search or name reservation request. In this circumstance, an additional name search/reservation may be required at additional cost. If this is required, we will contact you to discuss your options before moving forward.
