What a NUANS report provides?

Nuans reports show comparable corporate names and trademarks. They are valid for a duration of 90 days. Once this 90-day period expires, it's mandatory to order a fresh Nuans report for submitting. Receiving a report does not imply the acceptance of the name you've proposed. It merely indicates that the name is held for you for a period of 90 days as it undergoes the approval process. The length of the approval process may differ based on jurisdiction.

What a Pre-search report provides?

A preliminary name search, also known as a pre-search, is a process for pre-checking a name before requesting a NUANS report. This method saves both your money and time as it removes potential names with exact matches before the nuans report's cost is incurred. The chances of a NUANS reservation report getting rejected is reduced when a preliminary search is conducted beforehand.

What a Pre-approval report provides?

In canada, specific provinces (including british columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, among others) do not recognize the NUANS reservation report as the final approval for a company name. These provinces have unique naming requirements and thus, the name proposed for a company during the incorporation application process is scrutinized by an officer. If the name is not approved, it could lead to the rejection of the entire incorporation application. Therefore, it might be more strategic to seek pre-approval for your intended company name in these provinces before starting the incorporation process. Once your company name is pre-approved, you will receive a letter that references a number and an expiration date from the officer. this approval letter allows you to register the company at the same speed as a numbered corporation would be registered.
