Register/Renew a Trade/Style Name for a Corporation

Understanding Name Availability Searching

Before you register your business name under the Ontario Business Names Act, you should make sure that it is not already taken. We highly recommend the Comprehensive Pre-Search™ to determine the availability of your desired company name.
