Registry of Joint Stock Companies
If you want to operate a business in Nova Scotia you must register it with the provincial government, with three exceptions:
- Corporations or partnerships/businesses registered in New Brunswick
- Individuals or partners who use their own names, without a descriptive element or attachment, such as "and Associates"
- Farming or fishing partnerships
The first step is searching and reserving a business name. Registration fees and procedures will vary depending on the type of business.
