Where do I find business registration and permit requirements in New Brunswick?

Service New Brunswick’s Corporate Registry is the starting point for business names, incorporation and entity filings. Its business-permits service helps identify potential permissions based on your activities.

Where to begin

  1. Select the relevant business-name, incorporation or other entity route in Corporate Registry.
  2. Review the proposed-name guidance and the full instructions for the chosen filing before preparing forms.
  3. Use the linked Online Filing Centre for supported transactions. Keep registration and later annual-return or renewal tasks separate.
  4. Check existing CRA accounts before requesting a new business number.
  5. Use New Brunswick BizPaL to describe the scope of the business and obtain potential permit requirements. Confirm municipal rules for the actual location.

Before you open the official service

  • Entity type
  • Proposed name and existing registry information
  • Business location and activities

Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.

What to check for your situation

Permit-discovery results are a starting point. Registry filing alone does not authorize a business to operate at an address.

Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
