Before you incorporate a Saskatchewan business corporation or register a business name, the proposed name must be searched against all other registered names in Saskatchewan, as well as federal corporations and registered trademarks. The search ensures that no other business has an identical or very similar name to the one you want to use for your business.
Non-profit corporation names are searched against all other registered names in Saskatchewan only.
Please Note: The Corporate Registry checks names for availability within the province of Saskatchewan only; therefore, a name that is available in Saskatchewan may not be available in another jurisdiction. If you intend to carry on business in other provinces, it may be wise to have the name searched in all jurisdictions in which you intend to operate before proceeding to register the name in Saskatchewan.
Once your proposed name is submitted, Corporate Registry staff will search the name and your results will be available the same or next business day. The name will not be accepted if it is already in use or if it is misleading or deceptive in any way. If the proposed name is acceptable, it may be reserved for a period of 90 days. A Reservation Number will be provided and you may log back onto the website to proceed with the registration/incorporation.
