Did you know
* If the name of your sole proprietorship is your personal name only, you do not need to register it.
However, if you add another word or if you carry on business under another name, you must register that business name.
* Business name registrations are only valid for 5 years. It is the responsibility of the registrant to renew the registration.
* Although a name search is not mandatory for business name registrations, it is highly recommended that you prescreen your proposed name.
* A business name registration cannot have a legal element in its name.
* Registering your business name does not grant you exclusive use of that name. You may wish to seek legal counsel about incorporation or trademark registration.
