Verified on [date] · Sources: Corporations Canada, REQ, OQLF
DistinctiveThe word that identifies you
An invented word, a surname or a term unrelated to the business (“Nordique”). Registries compare this against existing names.
DescriptiveThe word that describes the business
“Studio”, “Clinic”, “Consulting”. On its own it’s refused: too descriptive to protect.
LegalThe corporate designation
“Inc.”, “Ltd.”, “Corp.”. Added automatically at filing; don’t type it here.
ProhibitedWhat blocks outright
Regulated terms (bank, insurance, university), government references, misleading or obscene names and, in Quebec, a name without a French version.
