Although there are few restrictions on a business name, you should choose a business name carefully. If the name chosen is the same as, or similar to, an existing trade name, corporate name, or trademark, the owners of the other name or trademark could take your business to court, and ask a judge to stop the use of the name and award damages.

It is therefore recommended that a Business Name Report be obtained to help you decide whether the name you have chosen is appropriate. The name of an Alberta limited liability partnership (LLP), however, cannot be identical to any other Alberta or extra-provincial LLP.
