  • Name Pre-Search: Corporate Name Availability Check

  • IncorpMaster Canada Inc. is a registered member of Industry Canada. You can obtain federal and all provincial name reports. Based on your selection, we can send you the name pre-search report in your email in 2 business hours.
  • If you want to use it for non-profit organization/society, you may add (optional) any traditional common word such as foundation, institute, association etc. as the last part of the name.

  • Help and Support

  • Proof of registered membership
  • Is this name report valid?
    Of course. Our agency has direct access to the federal name database and provincial government name database. All reports are valid and can be verified with Industry Canada.
  • Any rules for corporate names?
    Generally, a name should have two elements: distinctive and descriptive. The distinctive element is the most important factor; this part can't just describe the business but must be unique or made up words. The descriptive element can be common words that describes the nature of business. An example: "Best Car Wash". This name lacks of distinctiveness, it only describes the business. A better name could have been "Mike's Car Wash". In this name 'Mike' is the distinctive/unique element, and 'Car Wash' is the descriptive element.
  • I need further help
    Feel free to call us at 647 945 8893 during our business hours (9:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST). Or you can initiate a live chat with us in the bottom right corner.

  • Name Reservation Option

  • Please note, you are doing a name pre-search report only, which CANNOT be used to register or incorporate a business. In that case, you need a reservation report. If pre-search shows the name is available, we can reserve it for 90 days and send you the reservation report by email, which could be used for the purpose you have selected above.
  • If your purpose is to incorporate a new corporation or file for an existing corporation's name change, you are required to select a legal suffix. All of the following legal suffix have same legal meaning; choice is for appearance purpose only.
  • BC government allows to submit up to 3 names in one fee payment. If you want to take advantage of this, you may propose two other names in same fees. Leave it blank if you do not want to take this advantage.

  • Help and Support

  • How name reservation works?
    IncorpMaster Canada Inc. is an agent of Industry Canada. If you advise us to reserve the name, we review the name with three filters, i.e. availability, eligibility with name rules and legality with prohibited names, and then submit to the government. With these three filters, if we find your proposed name is not qualified, we will request you for alternative names by email, up to 3 names at free of cost.

  • What legal suffix to choose?
    If your purpose is to use this name to incorporate (limited liability company), choose any one of the legal suffix. All of them have the same legal meaning, choice is for appearance purpose only. If your purpose is to use this name for sole proprietorship or master business license or trade name/business name registration or non-profit organization, choose the option "none".
