Understanding your Corporate Status.

active clubs to become incorporated upon chartering and to remain in good standing and in accordance with
their provincial or territorial statutes.

revive under the Companies Act a dissolved not-forprofit company.
La présente trousse de renseignements porte sur les
formalités exigées en vertu de la Loi sur les
compagnies pour le rétablissement d’une compagnie à
but non lucratif qui est dissoute.
The company would have been dissolved in most
cases for being in default with the annual return
obligations under the Act.
Dans la plupart des cas, la compagnie aurait été
dissoute parce qu’elle a fait défaut de se conformer
aux exigences de la Loi en matière de dépôt des
rapports annuels.
Note:
Nota :
A company incorporated under the
Companies Act which has been dissolved
under the Companies Act may be eligible to
be revived under either the Business
Corporations Act or the Companies Act.
Prior to proceeding with the revival, the
Corporate Registry should be contacted to
confirm eligibility for revival under the
Companies Act.
Une compagnie constituée en vertu de la Loi
sur les compagnies et dont la charte a été
dissoute conformément à ladite loi peut être

sur les compagnies. Avant d’entreprendre les
formalités en vue du rétablissement,
communiquez avec le Registre corporatif pour
savoir si la compagnie est admissible à ce
rétablissement en vertu de la Loi sur les
compagnies.
A company which has voluntarily
surrendered its charter under the Companies
Act is not able to be revived under the Act.
Une compagnie qui opte d’abandonner sa
charte conformément aux dispositions de la Loi
sur les compagnies n’a pas droit à un
rétablissement en vertu de la Loi.
WHO MAY APPLY?
QUI PEUT FAIRE LA DEMANDE ?
By subsection 35.1(1), any interested party may
apply to have a company revived.
Selon le paragraphe 35.1(1), toute partie intéressée
peut demander le rétablissement d’une compagnie.

where a person other than a director, officer or
member (shareholder) is interested in applying for a
Dans les cas les plus courants, la partie intéressée est
un ancien administrateur, dirigeant ou membre
(actionnaire) de la compagnie dissoute. Si une
personne autre qu’un administrateur, un dirigeant ou
un membre (actionnaire) est intéressée à demander le
revival, that person should contact the Corporate
Registry to determine whether or not they will be
considered to be an “interested party” for purposes
of an application.
In that case, additional
requirements may be imposed on the applicant.

DE
CHANGEMENT
D’ADMINISTRATEURS
When a company is to be revived, the Director
requires, in the normal case, that the company at the
same time file a Notice of Directors (Form 47) to
indicate who are the directors of the company
immediately upon revival of the company.
Lorsqu’une compagnie fait l’objet d’un rétablissement,
le Directeur exige normalement que la compagnie
dépose un Avis de changement d’administrateurs
(formulaire no 47) contenant les noms des
administrateurs de la compagnie au moment du

NAME SEARCH REQUIREMENT
EXIGENCES RELATIVES À LA RECHERCHE
DE RAISONS SOCIALES
Where a revival is being sought in relation to a
company that has been dissolved for a period greater
than two years, the Director will require an Atlantic
based NUANS name search report. The Corporate
Registry can provide further details on this process,
if it is applicable.
Lorsqu’on présente des statuts en vue du
rétablissement d’une compagnie qui a été dissoute il y
a plus de deux ans, le directeur exigera que soit produit
un rapport de recherche de raisons sociales NUANS
(de l’Atlantique) Le Registre corporatif peut fournir
des renseignements plus détaillés sur ce mécanisme, le
cas échéant.
This requirement is imposed to ensure the
company’s name, upon revival, is not in
contravention of the provisions of the Act in relation
to having an identical or deceptively similar name to
an existing company or other name on record with
the Corporate Registry.
Cette exigence vise à faire en sorte que la raison
sociale de la compagnie rétablie ne contrevienne pas
aux dispositions de la Loi en étant identique ou
semblable à s’y méprendre à celle d’une compagnie
existante ou à une autre raison sociale enregistrée
auprès du Registre corporatif.
EFFECT OF A REVIVAL
EFFET DU RÉTABLISSEMENT
By section 35.1(4) of the Act, a company is revived
on the date shown on the Certificate of Revival, and
thereafter the company has all the rights and
privileges and is liable for the obligations that it
would have had if it had not been dissolved. The
date shown on the Certificate of Revival will be the
date the Director issues the Certificate of Revival.
En vertu de l’article 35.1(4) de la Loi, la compagnie
est rétablie à la date figurant sur le certificat de
rétablissement et recouvre dès lors, tous ses droits et
privilèges ainsi que ses obligations comme si elle
n’avait pas été dissoute. La date indiquée au certificat
de rétablissement sera la date à laquelle le Directeur a
émis le certificat de rétablissement.
It is strongly urged that any applicant seeking the
revival of a company consult with a legal advisor
to understand the legal implications of dissolution
and revival of a company.
On incite fortement tous les demandeurs qui
désirent rétablir une compagnie à consulter un
conseiller juridique afin de bien comprendre les
conséquences juridiques de la dissolution et du
rétablissement de la compagnie.
Any company that is revived is urged, as well, to
consult with its legal advisor as to the legal
implications of a revival.
On incite aussi les dirigeants de toute compagnie
rétablie à consulter un conseiller juridique afin de
se renseigner sur les effets juridiques du
rétablissement.
Please note the procedural requirements for a revival

NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
A LEGAL GUIDE
The purpose of this booklet is to provide information to community groups and
organizations, which may be considering incorporating as “Not-For-Profit”,
organizations. It outlines some of the reasons a group may find it desirable to incorporate.
It explains the responsibilities and obligations that accompany the act of incorporation. It
also discusses income tax and HST. We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the
Canada Revenue Agency in providing the information on income tax and the HST.
This booklet is not intended to contain a complete statement of the law in the area
and changes in the law may occur from time to time. This booklet should only be
used as an information resource. Anyone needing specific advice on his/her own legal
position should consult a lawyer.
“NOT-FOR-PROFIT” ORGANIZATIONS - AN OVERVIEW
What is a “Not-For-Profit” organization?
A “Not-for-Profit” organization is a group which is organized for the purpose of social,
religious, charitable, educational, athletic, literary, political or other such activities.
Although there are many different kinds of “Not-For-Profit” organizations they all have
one thing in common. The people involved in the “Not-For-Profit” organization cannot
use it to make personal financial gain.
What are some examples of “Not-For-Profit” organizations?
They include, for example, service clubs, sports associations, theatre, dance and music
groups, activity clubs, religious fellowships, educational and literary societies and
community services associations.
Does “Not-For-Profit” mean the organization can’t make money?
No. “Not-For-Profit” organizations can, and do engage in many activities that result in
income or profit. However, the profits that these organizations make must be held in trust
for the organization and can only be used in carrying out its goals and objectives.
Can “Not-For Profit” organizations incorporate?
Yes. Although “incorporation” is often associated with a formal business enterprise,
“Not-For-Profit” organizations also can incorporate.
Incorporation simply means that a group of people with a common goal has decided to
formalize their relationship according to the requirements set out in the law. The end
result is a company/corporation, which is viewed as a separate legal entity. In New
Brunswick, the Business Corporations Act governs general profit oriented corporations,
while “Not-For-Profit” organizations normally incorporate under the Companies Act.
Do “Not for Profit” organizations have to incorporate?
No. “Not-For-Profit” organizations can be formal (incorporated) or informal
(unincorporated).
What should my group consider if it is thinking about incorporating?
You may want to consider some of the following benefits when you are deciding about
incorporating:
(1) Distinct Legal Entity
An incorporated organization has a separate legal personality distinct from its members.
Generally it can sue and be sued in its own capacity. It provides a formal legal status for
those associated with it.
(2) Limited Liability
Members of an incorporated organization are not normally personally liable for its debts
and obligations. However, directors may incur personal liability in certain circumstances.
(3) Perpetual Existence
An incorporated organization may go on forever. If the members change, the incorporated
body continues to exist and will do so until the organization is dissolved according to the
requirements set out in the Companies Act.
(4) Ownership of Property
An incorporated organization can own property in its own name. If the members of the
organization change, the legal title to the property stays with the incorporated body.
(5) Government Aid
Some government agencies have programs to assist “Not-For-Profit” organizations.
They often require, however, that the organizations they fund be incorporated.
Why don’t all organizations incorporate?
An incorporated “Not-For-Profit” organization has a duty to operate according to rules set
out in the Companies Act. This includes keeping records, having annual meetings and so
on. Some “Not-For-Profits” may decide they do not want/need to be incorporated.
What are the obligations of incorporated organizations?
The obligations and duties of an incorporated body include:
(a) keep a book known as the “Company Registry” which lists all the members of the
organization;
(b) file appropriate notice with the Director, Corporate Registry, Service New Brunswick,
of any change in the:
(i) directors; or the
(ii) address of the head office;
(c) hold a general meeting of members at least once a year, where the directors must
present to the members a full statement of the affairs and financial position of the
organization. This process is governed by the Companies Act. The Companies Act allows
the organization to establish the time and place of the meeting in its own by-laws.
(d) file an annual return with the Corporate Registry, Service New Brunswick. Should the
organization fail to file its annual return its corporate status may be lost.
What rights accompany incorporation?
The Companies Act gives incorporated organizations the legal right to do most of the
things that a natural person can do. There are, however, some restrictions, so you should
find out the particular details of those rights. Your lawyer can explain your organization‟s
corporate status to you.
Who is responsible for the day to day operation of the incorporated “Not-ForProfit” organization?
The Companies Act states that a board of not less than three (3) directors must manage
the affairs of the organization. The directors are the mind and will of the organization.
They have the right to make by-laws or rules about its operation. These by-laws are
normally approved by the members. By-laws should not conflict with anything in the
Companies Act and may deal with the following:
membership rules;
corporate seal;
location of principal or head office;
functions, duties, appointment and removal of officers;
time, place, quorum, and procedures for meetings;
record keeping arrangements;
voting procedures;
name of bank;
borrowing powers;
audit of financial records, if applicable;
fiscal year end;
confidentiality clause;
amendment of by-laws;
Should my group incorporate?
Your group will have to consider the advantages and disadvantages, look at its goals and
decide what best suits its purpose. You may want to talk to other “Not-For Profit”
organizations and ask them about their reasons for incorporating.
INCORPORATING A “NOT-FOR-PROFIT”
How does a “Not-For-Profit” organization incorporate?
The procedure to incorporate a not-for-profit company under the Companies Act is set out
in the information kit “Incorporation of a Not-for-Profit Company”. This kit is available
from the Corporate Registry of Service New Brunswick.

http://www.snb.ca
The „Incorporation of a Not-for-Profit Company‟ kit is also available at Service New
Brunswick‟s Internet site.
To incorporate, you need at least three people who are nineteen years of age or older.
These people are called the applicants and they will become the provisional directors of
the organization. They must file the following documents with the Corporate Registry of
Service New Brunswick:
•
•
Application for Incorporation (in duplicate originals)
Name Search Report
What information must be included in the Application for Incorporation?
The Application for Incorporation, which is set out in form 36 of the Companies Act
Regulations, must provide the following information:
(i) Name of the Organization
Before you prepare an application and complete the documents for incorporation, the
proposed name of your organization should be approved by the Corporate Registry of
Service New Brunswick. It must not be objectionable on public policy grounds and it
cannot be the same as or similar to the name of any other incorporated or unincorporated
business or organization.
The information kit entitled “Selecting A Proposed Name” is available from Corporate
Registry. It sets out the steps, which should be followed in the selection of the proposed
name and the approval of it by Corporate Registry.
The name of a company must include either the word „Incorporated‟ or „Limited‟ or the
abbreviation „Inc.‟ or „Ltd.‟. These legal identifiers are usually found at the end of the
name.
(ii) Purposes or Objectives
You must state what the organization intends to do. The purposes and objectives must fall
within the scope of activities permitted by the Companies Act (see sections 16 and 18 of
the Act).
(iii) Head Office
You must state the place within New Brunswick that will be the legal home of the
organization. Usually this is where all official correspondence is sent, where the corporate
seal is kept, and where the books of the organization are available for inspection.
(iv) Capital Stock and Acquisition of Property
Most “Not-For-Profits” are incorporated without capital stock and they do not issue any
share certificates. A non-share company may acquire real and personal property of an
unlimited cost value, unless otherwise specified in the letters patent.
(v) Not-For-Profit Statement
You must state that the organization shall not carry on any business or trade for the profit
of its members. Upon dissolving (ending) the corporation, surplus funds are normally
given to other non-profit organizations. You should therefore state your particular
distribution plans.
(vi) Powers Clause
You must briefly list the powers that the organization is to have. If the organization does
something that is outside these powers, that action may be declared invalid.
(vii) Provisional Directors
You must include on the application, the names, addresses and occupations of the persons
who are the applicants. There must not be less than three names listed, however, you may
include up to 15 names. These persons will be the first directors of the organization. They
continue as the directors until replaced.
What is a Name Search Report?
This report is a computerized print out indicating potentially identical or similar names to
the proposed name of your company. You should refer to the “Selecting a Proposed
Name” information kit.
What is the next step?
The Application must be sent in duplicate originals to the Director, Corporate Registry,
Service New Brunswick. Also, the name search report must accompany the Application.
Are there any costs to file an application?
Yes. You will have to pay a filing fee. The exact amount is determined by a sliding scale
based on the cost value of the real and personal property that you have set out in your
application.
When does the incorporation become effective?
When your application is accepted, you will receive Letters Patent. This is a document
certifying that your organization is incorporated. Notice of Letters Patent must be
published in the Royal Gazette. The publishing costs must be paid by the applicants.
Do I need a lawyer to incorporate?
Although a lawyer is not required, most organizations seek professional legal advice. A
lawyer will help your group to explore options and decide if incorporation is best for it. A
lawyer has the expertise to handle the paperwork involved, to check the organization‟s
choice of name and so on.
Where can I get more information about incorporation?
You can get information about the incorporation process from the Corporate Registry of
Service New Brunswick.

“NOT-FOR PROFIT” ORGANIZATIONS AND TAXES
Do “Not-For-Profits” have to pay income tax?
“Not-For-Profit” organizations are distinguished by the Canada Revenue Agency as
non-profit organizations and charities. They are two separate categories.
Organizations which are registered charities are exempt from income tax. An
organization which is not considered to be a charity still may qualify for tax-exempt status
under the Income Tax Act if it qualifies as a non-profit organization.
Some non-profit organizations which are exempt from paying income tax still may be
subject to tax on property income and on certain taxable capital gains. See the Canada
Revenue Agency‟s Interpretation Bulletin IT-83R3 called “Non-Profit Organizations Taxation of Income from Property”.
How does a non-profit organization know if it has tax-exempt status under the
Income Tax Act?
The Canada Revenue Agency can advise you of your organization‟s tax status by
determining whether your organization is organized and operated solely for social
welfare, civic improvement, pleasure, recreation or for any other purpose except
profit. No part of the income of the organization, whether current or accumulated, can be
payable to, or made available for the personal benefit of any of its members, shareholders,
etc. See the Canada Revenue Agency‟s Interpretation Bulletins IT-496 and IT-496SR
called “Non-Profit Organizations”.
The Canada Revenue Agency cannot determine your status in advance but only after they
review the objects and activities of your organization for that particular taxation year.
They must check to see that your organization operated in accordance with the non-profit
purposes for which it was created. They will look at things such as your organization‟s
governing documents, statement of activities, name(s) in which property or assets are
registered, names of directing officers and a financial statement for the organization‟s
fiscal period. For further information or for clarification contact your local Tax Services
Office (TSO). A list of TSOs is available on the Internet at http://www.craarc.gc.ca/tx/chrts/prtng/menu-eng.html. You can also call toll-free 1-800-959-5525.
Does a non-profit organization with an income tax exemption have to file a tax
return?
A non-profit organization which is income tax-exempt may be required to file an annual
income tax return and an annual information return with the Canada Revenue Agency.
You should contact your local Tax Services Office or call 1-800-959-5525 to find out
about the filing requirements for your organization.
Regardless of income tax exemptions, “Not-for-Profits” must meet other requirements of
the Income Tax Act. For example, they must withhold and remit the amounts required by
law where wages and salaries are paid and they must prepare required T4 and other forms.
How does an organization qualify as a charity under the Income Tax Act?
To qualify as a charity, an organization must be created for charitable purposes and
operate by devoting its resources to charitable activities. It must also make sure that no
part of its income goes to the personal benefit of any of its members. For more
information see the Canada Revenue Agency‟s brochure entitled “Registering a Charity
for Income Tax Purposes” (Form T4063). Other related brochures are available at the
Canada Revenue Agency's web site http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/charities/ or at your nearest
Tax Services Office.
To be registered as a charity, an organization must devote its activities to one or more of
the following:
relief of poverty;
advancement of religion;
advancement of education; and
certain other purposes that benefit the community in the way the courts have
determined to be charitable.
As well, an organization cannot operate for profit or for the private interest of its
members.
How will my organization know if its objects and activities are considered
charitable?
Organizations must apply to the Canada Revenue Agency for “registered” charity status.
You will be required to submit an Application for Registration (Form T2050) and
supporting documentation. You can get the necessary forms, the brochure Form T4063
which outlines the major factors the Canada Revenue Agency considers in registering an
organization, or ask for more information on a particular question by contacting the
Canada Revenue Agency:
Charities Directorate
Canada Revenue Agency
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0L5
Telephone: 1-800-267-2384
Most information concerning charities can be found at the "Charities" section of the
Canada Revenue Agency's web site www.cra-arc.gc.ca/charities . Your Tax Services
Office also has the required documents on hand.
Can all “Not-For-Profit” organizations issue official donation receipts?
No. Only those “Not-For-Profit” organizations registered with the Canada Revenue
Agency as charities can issue official donation receipts when they receive contributions.
(Note: Every registered charity must, within 6 months after the end of its fiscal year, file
an annual information return, form T3010, with the Canada Revenue Agency.)
Do “Not for Profit” organizations have to pay the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)? Do
“Not-for-Profit” organizations have to charge and remit the HST?
Like everyone else, “Not-For-Profit” organizations have to pay the HST when they make
purchases from suppliers who are themselves required to charge the tax. However, in
some circumstances, “Not-For-Profit” organizations are able to claim a refund of this
tax. Also, “Not-For-Profit” organizations are required to charge and remit HST on the
property or services that they sell if they choose or are required to register for the tax.
Please contact the Canada Revenue Agency for information about choosing, or being
required, to register for the HST. For information in English, please call 1-800-959-5525.
For information in French, you may call 1-800-959-7775.
How would a Not-For-Profit group know what course of action is best for it?
In all circumstances you should make yourself aware of the benefits, obligations and
rights that arise from incorporation in the context of your organization. Find out what is
required by the Canada Revenue Agency. Incorporation under the Companies Act may
not ensure, for example, that your organization‟s objectives fall within the Canada
Revenue Agency‟s guidelines for charities or non-profit organizations. Look into any
requirements for tax purposes before you incorporate. Your local Tax Services Office can
tell you about any income tax implications. It may be wise to have a lawyer explain the
various rules for tax exemptions to your organization.

THE STEPS
ÉTAPES À SUIVRE
Set out below are the chronological steps which
are
followed
regarding
selecting
and
incorporating/registering a proposed name under
which you intend to carry on business. Likewise,
an existing company/corporation or partnership
may wish to change its existing name by filing
appropriate amendment documents. In that case,
the steps below apply on a similar basis.
Voici, par ordre chronologique, les étapes à suivre
en vue de choisir, d'enregistrer ou de constituer en
corporation une raison sociale ou une appellation
commerciale sous laquelle vous vous proposez
d'exercer des activités commerciales. De même,
une compagnie, une corporation ou une société en
nom collectif existante qui veut changer sa raison
sociale peut déposer les documents de
modification appropriés. Les étapes énoncées
ci-dessous s’appliquent également dans ce cas.
1)
Select a proposed name.
1)
Choisir une raison
appellation projetée.
2)
Obtain a name search report from a private
sector name search firm. This report must
be an Atlantic based NUANS search
report. Review the report and the firm's
covering letter to determine whether the
proposed name continues to seem to be
suitable from your perspective.
2)
Obtenir un rapport de recherche de nom
NUANS pour la région de l'Atlantique de
la part d'une entreprise du secteur privé.
Examiner le rapport et la lettre explicative
de l'entreprise en vue de déterminer si, de
votre point de vue, la raison sociale ou
l'appellation commerciale projetée vous
semble toujours pertinente.
3)
Send in the name search report, covering
letter and the incorporating/registration
documents to the Corporate Registry.
Note: The name search report must be a
current report, i.e. one done within 90 days
of receipt by the Branch.
3)
Faire parvenir au Registre corporatif le
rapport de recherche ainsi que la lettre
explicative
et
les
documents
d'enregistrement et de constitution en
corporation. À noter que le rapport de
recherche doit être actuel, c'est-à-dire
effectué dans les 90 jours précédant la date
de réception par la Direction.
4)
The Corporate Registry will determine
whether the proposed name is suitable for
incorporation/registration. It will also
review the incorporation/ registration
documents to ensure they are acceptable
for filing. If the proposed name and the
other documents are suitable, the Branch
will file the incorporation/ registration
documents.
4)
Le Registre corporatif déterminera si
l'appellation projetée est pertinente aux
fins de l'enregistrement ou de la
constitution en corporation.
Elle
examinera également les documents
d'enregistrement ou de la constitution en
corporation pour s'assurer qu'ils sont
acceptables aux fins du classement. Si
l’appellation projetée et les autres
sociale
ou
une
documents sont acceptables, la Direction
se charge du dépôt des documents.
I
BACKGROUND
I
RENSEIGNEMENTS CONNEXES
Prior to incorporating a company/
corporation or registering a partnership
and/or business name with this Branch,
you should ensure that the proposed name
is suitable for incorporation and/or
registration.
Antérieurement à la constitution d'une
compagnie, d'une corporation ou à
l'enregistrement d'une société en nom
collectif ou d'une appellation commerciale
auprès de la présente Direction, on doit
s'assurer que l'appellation projetée est
pertinente aux fins de l'enregistrement ou
de la constitution en corporation.
In determining whether a proposed name is
suitable, you, as a businessperson, will
take many factors into account in selecting
a proposed name. (Does it describe the
product or service offered? Is the name
distinctive? Can customers identify and
remember the name?) One major factor to
take into account is the provisions in
various Acts and Regulations of the
Province of New Brunswick, which deal
with the suitability of a name for
incorporation and/or registration. (See
Business Corporations Act, Limited
Partnership Act, and Partnerships and
Business Names Registration Act.) Copies
of the Acts and Regulations are available
from the Queen's Printer.
Pour déterminer si une raison sociale ou
une appellation commerciale projetée est
pertinente, vous devez, en tant que
personne d'affaires, tenir compte de
plusieurs facteurs. (Décrit-elle le produit
ou le service offert? Le nom est-il
distinctif?
Les clients pourront-ils
l'identifier et se le rappeler?)
Les
dispositions des diverses lois et règlements
visant
la
du
Nouveau-Brunswick
pertinence d'une appellation aux fins de
l'enregistrement ou de la constitution en
corporation constituent un des éléments
importants dont il faut tenir compte. (Voir
la Loi sur les corporations commerciales,
la Loi sur les sociétés en commandite et la
Loi sur l'enregistrement des sociétés en
nom collectif et des appellations
commerciales.)
On peut obtenir des
exemplaires des lois et des règlements
auprès de l'Imprimeur de la Reine.
A major emphasis of these provisions is to
prohibit the incorporation or registration of
a name that is either identical or
deceptively similar to a name already on
record in New Brunswick with the Branch.
These provisions attempt to alleviate the
public confusion and inconvenience which
would likely result with having identical or
deceptively similar names on record.
Ces dispositions législatives visent
particulièrement à interdire l'utilisation
d'une raison sociale ou d'une appellation
commerciale identique ou abusivement
similaire à une autre déjà enregistrée au
auprès
de
la
Nouveau-Brunswick
Direction, ainsi qu'à éviter au public la
confusion et les inconvénients auxquels
une telle similitude pourrait donner lieu.
It should be noted that in circumstances
where it is determined a name has been
incorporated and/or registered and is
identical or deceptively similar to an
Lorsqu'il est déterminé qu'une raison
sociale ou une appellation commerciale
constituée ou enregistrée est identique ou
abusivement similaire à une autre déjà
existing name on record, provisions exist
under the Acts to order a change in the
name of the more recently “recorded”
name.
II
MANDATE OF THE BRANCH
enregistrée, il existe, en vertu des lois, un
ordre portant changement du nom
«enregistré » le plus récent.
II
The Branch is required by legislation, as
set out above, to determine the suitability
of a name prior to permitting the
incorporation and/or registration of the
name. Likewise, you, as a businessperson,
will be interested in ensuring the proposed
name for your business in not identical to
or deceptively similar to one on record. In
the end, the ultimate responsibility falls
upon the incorporator or registrant to
choose a name that is not identical to or
deceptively similar to another name
existing on our records.

THE NAME SEARCH REPORT
MANDAT DE LA DIRECTION
La Direction est tenue en vertu des
dispositions législatives énoncées cidessus, de déterminer si la raison sociale
ou l'appellation commerciale est pertinente
avant de ne permettre que celle-ci soit
constituée ou enregistrée. De même, tel
qu'expliqué ci-dessus, vous aurez intérêt à
vous assurer, en tant que personne
d'affaires, que l'appellation projetée n'est
pas identique ou abusivement similaire à
celle qui est déjà enregistrée.
En
définitive, il incombe à la personne qui
veut constituer ou enregistrer une
raison sociale ou une appellation
commerciale, de choisir une appellation
qui ne soit pas identique ou
abusivement similaire à une autre déjà
enregistrée.
III
RAPPORT DE RECHERCHE SUR UN
NOM
The Branch requires an original name
search report setting out your proposed
name to be sent to it. The Branch will
review the report and determine whether
the proposed name is suitable for
incorporation/registration.
The name
search report that the Branch receives from
you must be a current report, i.e. a report
generated within the last 90 days. Failure
to comply with the 90-day rule will result
in the Branch requesting from you another
report which must be current.
La Direction exige que lui soit envoyé le
rapport original de recherche énonçant la
raison sociale ou l'appellation projetée.
Elle examinera l'appellation projetée et
déterminera si celle-ci est pertinente aux
fins de la constitution en corporation ou de
l'enregistrement. Le rapport de recherche
que vous envoyez à la Direction, doit être
actuel, c'est-à-dire être effectué dans les
derniers 90 jours, faute de quoi, la
Direction vous demandera de présenter un
autre rapport qui devra être actuel.
If upon review, the Branch determines the
proposed name is not suitable, it will
contact you by phone or fax. In this case, it
will be necessary to propose another name
for the incorporation/registration. Due to
this possibility, the Branch advises you
that prior to ordering letterhead,
signage, etc. for your business, to ensure
that the Branch has determined that the
Si, à la suite de l'examen, la Direction
estime que la raison sociale ou
l'appellation commerciale projetée n'est

échéant, il faudra présenter une autre
raison sociale ou une autre appellation
commerciale.
En raison de cette
possibilité, la Direction vous conseille de

COMMENT OBTENIR UN RAPPORT DE
RECHERCHE
It is your responsibility to obtain a name
search report and to send the report to this
Branch. You may obtain a report from one
of the private sector name search firms set
out in the attached list. It is your choice as
to which firm you deal with. Each firm
will charge a fee for providing you a name
search report.
Il vous incombe à vous, d'obtenir un
rapport de recherche et de l'envoyer à la
présente Direction. Vous pouvez l'obtenir
de la part d'une des entreprises de
recherche sur l'appellation commerciale du
secteur privé dont les noms figurent sur la
liste ci-annexée. Celle-ci vous demandera
d'acquitter des droits de recherche.
Upon receipt of the name search report
from the name search firm, you should
examine it to determine whether the
proposed name still seems to be suitable
from your perspective. You may need
assistance from such firm in order to
interpret some of the symbols and content
of the report. Likewise, all name search
firms will attach a covering letter to the
report indicating, in their opinion, whether
or not the proposed name seems suitable
for incorporation and/or registration in
New Brunswick. (Note: This covering
letter from the name search firm must be
forwarded to this Branch along with the
actual Report. It facilitates our review
process of any proposed name.)
Sur réception du rapport de recherche sur
un nom de la part de l'entreprise de
recherche, vous devez l'examiner afin de
déterminer si, selon vous, l'appellation
projetée est toujours pertinente. Il se peut
que vous ayez besoin de l'aide d'une telle
entreprise en vue d'interpréter certains
symboles ou certains éléments du rapport.
De même, toute entreprise de recherche sur
les raisons sociales ou les appellations
commerciales a l'habitude d'annexer au
rapport une lettre explicative indiquant si,
à son avis, la raison sociale ou l'appellation
commerciale projetée semble pertinente au
fait d'enregistrement ou de constitution en
corporation au Nouveau-Brunswick. (À
noter que la lettre explicative de
l'entreprise de recherche annexée au
rapport doit être expédiée à la présente
Direction, ce qui rend plus facile l'examen
de la raison sociale ou de l'appellation
commerciale projetée.)
