NUANS® Searches in Alberta

Find out if your business name is available to use.

Is your proposed business name or corporate name available to use? NUANS® searches can help you determine whether the name you want to use is available when you move forward with the incorporation or business name registration process. Newly Updated Automated Name Search (NUANS) is an advanced name search system that has over 8 million records of business and corporate name registrations for operations throughout Canada. In some cases, the federal and Provincial governments require NUANS® searches prior to incorporating your business.

When incorporating or registering your business in Alberta, there are several factors to watch out for when selecting a corporate or business name. For instance, you should look into whether the name you want to use is already being used, if other similar names exist, and if your business name is unique. One of the main benefits of NUANS® searches is that this program lets you quickly and efficiently search for proposed business names. This way, you can make a confident determination of the availability of your proposed name.
