What is a New Brunswick NUANS Report?
A New Brunswick NUANS report is an official name search document generated from the national NUANS database. It is required for incorporating a named business under the New Brunswick Business Corporations Act (NBBCA). The search checks your proposed corporate name against existing registered corporations, business names, and Canadian trademarks to identify potential conflicts before you file your incorporation.
New Brunswick is one of only four jurisdictions in Canada that require a NUANS report for provincial incorporation — alongside Ontario, Alberta, and the federal level.
