FAQs About BC Name Requests

What is a BC Name Request, and when do I need one?

A BC Name Request is the step where your proposed business name is reviewed and reserved before you register or incorporate. You’ll usually need one if you want a specific business name (instead of a numbered option) for most registrations and incorporations.

Can you submit my BC Name Request on my behalf?

Yes. We can prepare, review, and submit your BC Name Request through the BC Registry system, then share the decision and next steps once it’s processed.

How do I increase my chances of getting my BC Name Request approved?

Pick a name that’s clearly distinct, follows BC naming structure rules (name element + descriptive element, plus a legal ending if required), and avoids restricted or misleading terms. Including strong backup names and a clear business description can also reduce delays.

How long does a BC Name Request take to process?

Processing times vary depending on registry volume and how complex the name review is. Submitting properly formatted name choices with good alternates is one of the best ways to avoid back-and-forth.

What information do you need from me to file a BC Name Request?

Typically, we’ll need 3 name choices (ranked), your business structure (sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation), basic contact details, and a short description of what the business does—especially if your name includes specific industry terms.

What happens after my BC Name Request is approved?

You’ll receive the approval outcome and reservation details. From there, you can move to the next step—like registering a sole proprietorship/partnership or incorporating—using the approved name while it’s still reserved.

What if my first choice isn’t approved?

If the registry declines the name or asks for changes, you can often revise and resubmit. Adding strong alternate names up front helps you avoid starting over and speeds up the process.

Do I need a lawyer to submit a BC Name Request?

No. Most entrepreneurs use an online filing service to submit correctly and get guidance on BC naming rules, without needing a lawyer for this step.

Can non-residents submit a BC Name Request?

Often, yes—eligibility depends on what you’re registering and any extra requirements that may apply. If you’re outside Canada, we can help you choose the best path based on your situation. More info here: Non-Residents.

Where can I see your related services after my BC Name Request is approved?

You can browse options on brcbc.ca, including business registration, incorporation, and other follow-up filings you may need after you’ve secured a name.
