Business Name Searches (NUANS®)


Business Name Searches (NUANS®) – Startup Support Plus

Before you register or incorporate your business, it’s essential to conduct Business Name Searches (NUANS®) to verify that your proposed name is available. This step ensures that your business name does not conflict with an existing corporate name or a registered trademark.

At Startup Support Plus, we help entrepreneurs across Canada complete NUANS® name searches quickly and accurately. This is one of the most important early steps when starting a business, whether you’re incorporating federally or registering in a specific province.

A NUANS® (Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search) report is a mandatory document for federal incorporation and for many provincial incorporations, such as in Alberta, Ontario, and New Brunswick. The report compares your proposed name against existing corporate names, trademarks, business registrations, and reserved names.

The goal is to confirm that your chosen name is not confusingly similar to other existing entities. This helps prevent legal disputes and rejection of your registration.

Startup Support Plus assists with conducting NUANS® name searches, preparing reports for federal or provincial use, advising on next steps for registration or incorporation, and supporting you through our full business registration services. If you need help selecting a strong, brandable business name, we’ll guide you through best practices to help you make an informed decision.

Call us at 506-381-5845 or contact us online to get started with your NUANS® name search today.

You can also explore helpful resources such as Innovation Canada’s Business Support Finder and Corporations Canada’s name search guidance. Visit our Services Page to learn more about how we can support your startup journey.

The Business Model Canvas

How to Use the Business Model Canvas to Shape Your Business Strategy

If you’re planning to launch a new business, introduce a product or service, or rework your current strategy, the Business Model Canvas can be an excellent starting point. This tool offers a clear, visual way to define and structure your business model on a single page.

Originally developed by Strategyzer, the Business Model Canvas is now a global standard used by entrepreneurs, startups, and large corporations alike. It allows business owners to visualize nine key elements that form the foundation of a successful business:

  • Customer segments

  • Value propositions

  • Channels

  • Customer relationships

  • Revenue streams

  • Key resources

  • Key activities

  • Key partnerships

  • Cost structure

✅ Why Use the Business Model Canvas?

  • It helps improve focus and align your team.

  • The layout is practical, visual, and easy to use.

  • It encourages structured, strategic thinking without overwhelming you with jargon.

  • You can revise and adapt your canvas as your business grows.

At Startup Support Plus, we often recommend this tool during our business planning consultations. It’s a great foundation before building your pitch deck, applying for funding, or developing a detailed business plan.
