Companies Office
We register information about corporations and business names. You can search the Registry to obtain information (for example, who is doing business under a trade name, where the business is located, who are its partners or directors).
When you want to incorporate or register a trade name, the proposed name is compared to existing ones already on record. If there does not appear to be a conflict, Companies Office will incorporate the company or register the new business name.
You can now file your Name Reservation online. Select the Name Reservation Form hyperlink on the left hand navigation bar.
We are providing access to our paper forms and instructions through our internet address: www.gov.mb.ca/finance/cca/comp_off/index.html
