Sole proprietorships (one owner) operating in Alberta or wishing to operate in Alberta are not required to be registered if the business is carried on under the owner’s name. If the business uses a business name other than the owner’s name, they are required under the Alberta’s Partnership Act to register their business name before start using it. Registration is done by filing a declaration of trade name form with the Alberta Corporate Registries.

Registration places your business name in the public record maintained by the Corporate Registries. This allows consumers and business people to find the owners or the principal behind a business name.
