Client Reviews Business Ontario
Incorporated a professional corporation (law firm) with business-ontario.ca. Their article of corporation pretty standard one with no restrictions on it. I was kind of worried, but after service seems they have excellent lawyers. Great job.
I am fully satisfied with their service.
The team is very responsive, handled all transactions without error, and delivered required documents faster than expected. I had a last minute issue (my fault) that may have negatively impacted an important business transaction - I explained the situation and the Business Ontario team made it a priority and was able to resolve and expedite in near real time - saving me time and dollars.
Your customer focus and professionalism is much appreciated!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a NUANS report and do I need one?
A NUANS (Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search) report is the official Canadian name search that checks your proposed business or corporate name against millions of existing corporations, trademarks, and business names across Canada. In Ontario, a full NUANS report is mandatory when you incorporate a company, change a corporate name, or register certain types of business names (e.g., Master Business Licence with a custom name).
How fast do you deliver Ontario NUANS reports?
Most reports are emailed to you in 5–30 minutes, even on evenings and weekends. We’re open 24/7 with instant automated ordering.
Is the preliminary name search really free?
Yes! Our basic pre-search is 100% free and instant. It quickly shows exact matches and very similar names so you can avoid wasting money on a full report for a name that’s already taken.
How long is an Ontario/Canada name reservation valid?
When you order a NUANS report with reservation, your exact name is protected across Canada for 90 days (sometimes slightly longer depending on the province). This gives you time to complete incorporation without someone else taking the name.
Can I use your NUANS report to incorporate in Ontario myself?
Absolutely. Every report we send is the official, government-recognized NUANS document accepted by ServiceOntario, the Ontario Business Registry, and all lawyers and incorporation services in Canada.
What’s the difference between an Ontario NUANS and a Federal (Canada-wide) pre-approval?
- Ontario NUANS → Required for provincial incorporation in Ontario or name changes.
- Federal Pre-Approval → Required when incorporating federally through Corporations Canada (gives you rights across the entire country).
Do you provide certified corporate documents too?
Yes – we deliver official certified copies of Articles, Certificate of Status, Corporate Profile Reports, and Company Key requests by email in under 30 minutes.
Will banks and the government accept the PDF reports you email?
Yes, 100%. All documents come directly from the official registries with digital certification/seals and are accepted by banks, CRA, ServiceOntario, lawyers, and accountants.
What happens if my desired name is already taken?
You’ll see all conflicting names and trademarks in your report. Many clients simply tweak the name slightly (add “Group”, “Solutions”, a location, etc.) and run another quick search – we make that fast and affordable.
Can I order a NUANS report at 2 a.m. or on a holiday?
Yes! Our system is fully automated and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Still have questions? Chat with us or email – we usually reply in minutes!
