The first step in starting a business is conducting a name reservation. This name reservation can be completed via our convenient Corporate Registry application or via the forms below. If you choose to use the Corporate Registry application, you will see live validation of your name reservation as you enter your proposed name. The system will assist you in determining if your name is acceptable and available. Please be aware that even though there is automatic validation, a Corporate Registry employee will review your name to ensure that it passes all validations.
