    What is NUANS report?
    NUANS, or Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search, is a federal database utilized to verify if there are any existing business names that could potentially conflict with your intended name. For registering a business in a province (Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick, PEI), only the NUANS Reservation Report specific to that province is accepted. Keep in mind that a federal NUANS report cannot be used for this purpose.
    Your registration already expired?
    If your existing business registration has already expired, the government system will generate a new registration document with the same business name and carry over the same CRA accounts (Business Number, HST Account, Payroll Account etc.)
    What is business activity type?
    A business can sell to its customer services or goods or both. Services examples are professional and technical services, consultancy, recreation, arts and entertainment, social assistance etc.
    What activities should I write?
    Write your primary and most important business activity (only one). Be specific and avoid general description to avoid delays. Make it short and straight to the point to expediate the process.

    Electronic vs. Printed Documents
    If you select electronic documents, we will email PDF copies to the billing email address you provide. You also have the option to receive both: electronic copies by email and printed hard copies sent by mail.
    Why printed copy costs more?
    After registration, the government emails us the electronic documents. Therefore, we can provide you with the electronic documents at no extra charge. Using postal service incurs extra costs for printing, handling, and shipping.
