Business Name Registration Unless your business name is just your first and last name, you must register it with the Registry of Joint Stock Companies - no matter what form of ownership you choose for your business. When you register your business name you are ensuring that no one else can carry on business in Nova Scotia under that name. For more information, please visit the Registry of Joint Stock Companies web site. Additional Regulations Depending on the type of business that you are starting, additional regulations may apply.
