Get a new DBA for your corporation

Your business name is your brand. Apply for a “doing business as” (DBA) name and make yours memorable.

What is a DBA?

A corporation can only have one legal name. However, it may operate its business under different business names. These business names are also sometimes referred to as “Doing business As” or DBAs, trade names or fictitious names.

A corporation must register these names in the province that it is located in with the provincial government department that governs business registrations.

DBAs are particularly useful for “numbered corporations” , for example, 123456 Canada Inc. DBAs allow you to use a business name that is more appealing.

Do I need to get a business name report?

The rules vary by province but its always more prudent to get a report or at the very least do some pre-searches to make sure that it is not already being used.

Get a business name report to ensure the name complies with legal requirements. This helps avoid conflicts with existing companies, protects your brand and ensures regulatory compliance.

CorpCentre can conduct a preliminary review of the reports by our specialists to ensure the strongest regulatory compliance. Stick with the experts.
