Corporate Registry
Partnerships and Business Names
The registry maintains business name registration for sole proprietorships or general partnerships and limited partnership information for the territory.
Everyone who forms a partnership, uses a business name other than their own, or indicates more than one member in the business by adding for example, "and company" after the individual's name, for trading, manufacturing or mining purposes must sign and file a registration within 60 days after forming the partnership or after the business name is first used.
When individuals want to register their business
name, we do not review the proposed names to make
sure that they aren't confusingly similar to ones
already on our record. This would only be done when
incorporating a limited corporation or registering
an Extra-Territorial corporation.
