What we do...
We register information about corporations and business names. The
public may search the registry to obtain information (for example,
who is doing business under the trade name, where the business is
located, and to get a list of officers and directors).
When individuals want to incorporate or register their trade name,
we review the proposed names to make sure that they aren't
confusingly similar to ones already on our record. Then our office
will incorporate the company or register the business name.
We are responsible for Manitoba Business Links (MBL), the program
that administers the use of the Business Number (BN) as Manitoba's
common business identifier. For more information about Manitoba
Business Links, click here.
Finally, we are also responsible for the appointments and renewals
of Commissioner for Oaths and Notary Publics. This includes the
authentication of a Notary Public's signature on documents.
