Questions about the NUANS Agent service
Why use an agent instead of ordering directly?
If a name is too close to an existing business, the registry can reject it and you pay for a new report. A review before ordering helps you avoid that.
What makes a name distinctive?
A distinctive element is the unique part of the name, such as "Horizonvia" in "Horizonvia Ventures Inc." Common words alone, like "Toronto Consulting Inc.", are usually not enough.
Can you incorporate my company too?
Yes. Once your name is approved, you can continue with our Ontario Incorporation service.
