Service Overview

Detailed Scope & Legal Framework

Choosing the right business name in Ontario requires verifying that your proposed name does not conflict with existing corporations, registered sole proprietorships, or trademarks. At C1 Business Logistics, our flat $34.99 + HST name-search service screens one primary proposed name plus up to two alternatives across the Ontario Business Registry (OBR) and publicly accessible Canadian records. Once your order and payment are received, our team is notified immediately and your order transitions to 'Processing'. We manually place the search through our verified third-party provider, review the report upon receipt, securely attach it to your order, and notify you as soon as the status is 'Completed'. The preliminary screening is not a legal opinion, trademark clearance, or guarantee that a name will be accepted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does C1 Business Logistics generate official NUANS reports directly?

C1 Business Logistics screens names and coordinates reports through verified third-party providers upon order and payment receipt. You receive the resulting digital search report securely through our system once completed.

Does an Ontario sole proprietorship require a formal NUANS report?

No. Sole proprietorships and general partnerships register directly with the Ontario Business Registry without a mandatory NUANS report, though a preliminary search is strongly advised to avoid trade name conflicts.

Can I incorporate as a numbered corporation to avoid name delays?

Yes. A numbered corporation (e.g., 1000123456 Ontario Inc.) does not require a NUANS report, allowing immediate incorporation. You can later register an operating business name through C1 Business Logistics.

Ideal For:

Founders testing business name availability (e.g., C1 Business Logistics)
