The Québec enterprise number (NEQ) is a convenient way for you to identify your business when contacting Québec government departments or agencies.
Businesses that wish to register for the various programs and services offered by the Québec government will find the NEQ particularly useful.
The NEQ is a ten-digit number that is automatically assigned when you register your business. It is not mandatory to have a NEQ if your business is not registered (as may be the case if its name includes your first and last names), but if you would like to have a NEQ, you may apply to the Registraire des entreprises (REQ). You may also apply to Revenu Québec for a NEQ, unless your business is incorporated.
