Business Name Registration Surrey BC

How do I choose the right name for my business?

Choosing a business name is a crucial first step. Your name should be unique, memorable, and comply with federal or provincial regulations. It must not mislead customers or be too similar to existing registered names or trademarks. At Wio Accounting, we help you conduct thorough name searches and ensure your business name meets all legal requirements before registration.

Before registering, it’s important to verify that your chosen name is not already in use or trademarked by another company. Additionally, your name should reflect your business activities clearly and avoid prohibited or restricted terms.

Our business registration service guides you through these legal and branding considerations to help you pick a name that protects your business identity.

Can I register my business name federally and provincially? What’s the difference?

Yes, you can register federally, provincially, or both. Provincial registration covers business operations within a specific province, such as BC, while federal registration provides your business with nationwide recognition and protection.

Depending on your expansion goals, we advise on the best registration path and handle the paperwork to simplify the process.

Is it necessary to trademark my business name after registration?

Registering your business name does not guarantee exclusive rights across Canada. Trademarking provides stronger legal protection against unauthorized use. We can connect you with trademark specialists and advise on the benefits and processes involved in trademark registration.

What if my desired business name is already taken?

If the name you want is already registered, we assist in brainstorming alternative names or modifying your selection to meet legal standards. We also help with conducting detailed name searches and trademark checks to prevent future conflicts.
