Business name registration

Also called register a business name, operating name, trade name

What is a business name registration?

Registering a name you do business under in Ontario when it differs from your own legal name, or a corporation's operating name when it differs from its corporate name. It doesn't give you exclusive rights to the name; a trademark registration is what does that.
