What Is a NUANS Report Used For?
A NUANS Report checks whether a proposed business name or trademark is available and not already in use. It helps:
- Confirm that your chosen name is unique before registering a business or applying for a trademark.
- Avoid potential legal issues by identifying similar or identical names.
- Meet Canadian requirements for corporate name registration or trademark applications.
- The report also provides a list of similar names, helping you assess whether your chosen name is safe to proceed with.
What Are the Differences Between the Available Reports?
We provide all types of NUANS reports tailored to specific jurisdictions (Province/Territory/Federal).
1. Provincial/Territorial Reservation Reports

  - These reports are used to reserve business names within specific provinces or territories, ensuring compliance with local regulations.

Tips for Choosing a Strong Business Name
1. Include a Distinctive Term
  Make your business name stand out with an acronym (e.g., BLF Solutions), invented word (e.g., Buvvy Limited), family name (e.g., Crystal Cleaning), or uncommon phrase (e.g., Luminous Razor Inc.). Avoid generic or overused terms.
2. Add a Descriptive Term
  Combine the distinctive term with a word that explains your business activities, such as "Luminous Razor Software" for tech or "Crystal Bakery" for food.
3. Avoid Popular or Confusing Terms
  Don’t use well-known brand names, trademarks, or terms that suggest affiliation with another business (e.g., "Apple" for tech or "Coca" for beverages) unless authorized.
4. Avoid Misleading Terms
  Ensure your name doesn’t mislead the public about your business’s purpose, structure, or status. Examples:
  - “Blessed Intentions 4 Christ Inc.” may be rejected for implying non-profit status.
  - “Crystal & Co.” as a sole proprietorship may be rejected for suggesting multiple owners unless it’s a partnership.
5. Avoid Restricted or Prohibited Terms
  Stay away from terms that imply illegal affiliations (e.g., "Royal Investment Bank"), government ties (e.g., "Federal" or "Crown"), professional titles without authorization (e.g., "Engineering Experts"), or offensive language.
6. Include a Legal Suffix, if Required
  Add a suffix like Inc., Ltd., or Corp. if necessary for your business type. These indicate your legal structure and ensure compliance.
What Is a Distinctive Term?
A distinctive term makes your business name unique and sets it apart from competitors offering similar goods or services. It’s the most critical part of your name. A descriptive term, on the other hand, clarifies what your business does.
Examples:
- Proposed Name: STACEY'S FLOWERS BOUTIQUE
  Distinctive Term: STACEY'S
  Descriptive Term: FLOWERS BOUTIQUE
- Proposed Name: FAST STOP CONVENIENCE STORE
  Distinctive Term: FAST STOP
  Descriptive Term: CONVENIENCE STORE
