Frequently Asked Questions
What is Federal Name Pre-Approval?
Federal Name Pre-Approval is an optional process where Corporations Canada checks and verifies that your chosen corporate name is in compliance with the Canada Business Corporations Act before you incorporate. This is a great way for startups to ensure that their unique word name is approved for Canada-wide use.
Who needs Federal Name Pre-Approval?
This service is normally used by entrepreneurs, start-ups, consultants, non-residents, and anyone else who wishes to incorporate a federal corporation with a word name as opposed to a numbered name. It is particularly useful for those who wish to avoid the possibility of rejection in the full incorporation process.
Is Federal Name Pre-Approval required for federal incorporation?
No, it is not compulsory; you can directly apply with your proposed name at the time of incorporation. But to avoid any chances of delay or disapproval, it is always better to go for pre-approval.
What is the difference between Federal Name Pre-Approval and a NUANS report?
A NUANS search report will include a search of existing names for conflicts, while Federal Name Pre-Approval involves the official review by Corporations Canada of whether the name can be used. Pre-approval is based on a search report to provide formal confirmation.
What are the main requirements for a proposed federal corporate name?
The name should be distinctive, not confusingly similar to existing corporate names, business names, or trademarks, and should contain a required legal element such as Limited, Incorporated, or Corporation. It should not be misleading, obscene, or suggest government sponsorship without authorization.
What documents or information are required for Federal Name Pre-Approval?
It is important to note that you need to submit your name with supporting details through Corporations Canada’s Online Filing Centre. In most cases, a NUANS name search report is included with the application.
What happens if my proposed name is rejected during pre-approval?
Corporations Canada will tell you why your name was not accepted, such as not being distinctive or being too similar to existing names. You can change your name and resubmit your application, or you can use the Name Appeal service for expert advice and resubmission of your name with reasons for approval.
What is Name Appeal for a Federal Corporation?
Name Appeal assists in the resubmission of a rejected proposed name to Corporations Canada, including specialist advice on the reasons for rejection and preparation of arguments in support of a successful resubmission.
Who should use the Name Appeal service?
Corporations, start-ups, or non-residents whose federal name request was declined by Corporations Canada can take advantage of this service. It assists in addressing any non-compliance issues and receiving approval to proceed with incorporation.
What risks are there if I skip name pre-approval?
Without pre-approval, your name may be rejected during incorporation, which may cause delays, additional costs, and even the need to start again with a new name. The pre-approval process eliminates such risks.
