Secure the name of your future business before someone else takes it.
Found the perfect name but your constitution or registration is not ready yet? Reserving the name with the Québec enterprise registrar holds it for you for 90 days.
We search the availability and compliance of the name you want, then file the reservation request with the registrar. You receive the official confirmation and can get on with your plans.
