People often ask

How do I search for a Canadian business?

Enter the business name or domain and add a city, province or territory. Compare its website and public sources, then verify formal details with the relevant registry.

Is this the federal corporation search?

No. DeepSearch is a public-web research tool. Federal, provincial and territorial registries have different coverage; check the appropriate official service for a registered business.

Does it validate a business number or provide a credit score?

No. Researching public information does not validate a CRA business number, confirm tax status or provide a credit bureau's assessment.

Is business search free?

Running a search requires paid access and uses your plan allowance. Public explanations and examples are free to read. Examples illustrate the method; they are not completed searches or customer results.

What if a business is absent from one registry?

Check which jurisdiction and entity types the registry covers, and distinguish an operating name from a registered name. Absence from one source alone does not establish that a business does not exist.
